LUBBOCK, Texas -- The Big 12 is slapping Texas Tech coach Mike Leach with the largest fine in conference history for comments he made about officiating last weekend.
Leach's fine of $10,000, twice the previous high, was announced Tuesday.
After No. 12 Texas beat the Red Raiders 59-43 Saturday, Leach condemned the officiating crew in Austin, calling their work during the game "a complete travesty."
The eighth-year coach was upset officials disallowed two Tech touchdowns in the third quarter, the first on an overrule after reviewing video that clearly showed the receiver let the ball hit the ground. A TD pass on the next play was negated by a holding penalty.
