The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Michigan Wolverines brawl after the game on Nov. 30 generated immense debate and controversy. The game ended with a victory for Michigan securing a 13-10 victory. In a celebratory moment, the players planted a flag in the middle of Buckeyes' field on the logo. This riled up the opposition, who immediately came to the scene, creating an all-out brawl.

No bans were handed to the players but the Big Ten conference fined both teams $100,000. A lot of discourse happened regarding the flag-planting celebration, with many campaigning for it being considered a bannable offense.

A new video surfaced on social media compiling footage captured by body cams worn by police present on the scene. It has outraged the fans again.

"Ohio State should've made a statement by winning the game.....not fighting over a flag," a fan said.

Here are some more reactions from fans.

"They have got to put a stop to this or it will get worse," another fan said talking about the flag-planting celebration.
"Where is the list of Ohio State's suspended players for their involvement in the fight? There should be consequences. Oh wait, there's a playoff game coming up," a fan said.

One fan came to Ohio State's defense, tweeting:

"This guy clearly is a Ohio St fan. Not saying he physically did anything but you can tell by the way he was talking about the players," one fan said.
