Big 12 fines Kansas $25,000 for Lance Leipold’s statement that a knife was thrown at Texas Tech game

The Big 12 fined Kansas $25,000 on Wednesday for coach Lance Leipold’s statement that a pocketknife was thrown at his staff during the Jayhawks’ game at Texas Tech last weekend.

The conference said the allegation was inaccurate and Leipold’s comments after the 42-17 loss to the Red Raiders were “disparaging.”
