Michigan and Ohio State are facing financial ramifications for the fight that took place after the Wolverines’ win over the Buckeyes on Saturday.
Per Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger, the Big Ten is going to fine each school $100,000 for the melee. It began after Michigan players attempted to plant a flag at the midfield logo of Ohio Stadium. Buckeyes' players took offense to the attempt and, well, things escalated from there.

The fight appeared over after round one, but it reignited after Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer grabbed the Michigan flag. That started a sequel and it took more time for players to be separated.
