Interesting punishment. I think I like it.

I obviously was not there, but i don't like it.

I get the PR point of view from this mandate, however, I don't think the student section should have any consequence due to the actions of a few players from each team.

I just personally don't like the precedent it sets.

I think this is pretty dumb as well. Being a part of a few student sections myself, I can say that the overly aggressive/rowdy are usually outnumbered by quite a bit but are obviously much more noticeable.

Way to pass the buck, X.

Because students at every game don't shout expletives or chant...

Please, your players got into a fight because your players don't know how to restrain their emotions and control themselves. Cincinnati's too, FWIW.

Do students at every game throw things on the court when it is clear that the event is getting hostile which will do nothing but escalate the tension?

Good move by Xavier. Too bad many more schools don't follow their lead.

No, and that's why I didn't mention it. Still think X's and Cincy's players are to blame, not the crowd.

Screw 'em.

They're kids in college. This will hardly be the last time they're dealt a shittty hand due to the actions of others.

Ten years from now the "reflection" session won't even register with them.

I think BCU suspended their entire fan base 3 years ago!

BCU has a fan base ???

Remove the word "base" and you have a correct statement.
