"It was a sight that Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders loved to see. It may very well lead to a reprimand, fine or both. Either way, it's the second straight home game with an incident involving the crowd at Folsom Field. The school drew a $50,000 fine and a rebuke by the Big 12 for derogatory chants toward the BYU crowd on Sept. 27. The Big 12 may take a hard look at this episode, too, given that conferences are cracking down on students rushing the field. "Is it a fine?" Sanders asked after the game as. "Come on, man. That ain't right. ... I want to see the kids rush the field. I absolutely love it.""
"A crowd began gathering near the railing of the end zone with "Colorado" printed along the sloped bank as the clocked approached zero. The public-address announcer warned the fans that entering the field could result in a fine for the school and possibly arrests for them. But when quarterback Kaidon Salter took a final knee to end the game, the crowd headed toward the midfield logo. "I mean, hats off to our security team. They do a good job ushering me in (to the locker room)," said Sanders, who notched his second win over an AP Top 25 team since taking over in Boulder. "But I love to see it. I really do.""
Colorado fans rushed the field after a 24-17 victory over No. 22 Iowa State at Folsom Field, creating another crowd-incident at the stadium. The school previously received a $50,000 fine and a Big 12 rebuke for derogatory chants aimed at BYU fans two weeks earlier. Conference officials are enforcing rules against student field rushes and could impose penalties or reprimands on the school. Coach Deion Sanders welcomed the celebrations, praised security efforts, and noted the school lowered the goalpost to prevent its removal as a souvenir. The situation leaves school and conference officials weighing disciplinary options.
