Texas Tech enforces a tortilla-throwing ban, citing penalties and fines, ending a decades-old fan tradition.

Texas Tech is enforcing a ban on fans throwing tortillas onto the field, a long-standing but unofficial tradition dating to the late 1980s. The university and NCAA are cracking down after repeated penalties during a game against Kansas, with individual fans facing ejection and bans, teams hit with 15-yard penalties, and potential fines up to $100,000. Surveillance cameras will be used to identify offenders, marking a strict new enforcement effort despite the tradition's popularity among fans.
