JMU Athletic Director Warns Fans After Snowballs Disrupt Championship Game

James Madison University's athletic director issued a public plea during Saturday's football championship. He asked fans to stop throwing snowballs onto the field. The incident occurred during the Sun Belt Conference title game against Troy University. Play was disrupted as snowballs landed near players. Athletic Director Matt Roan announced a stadium warning over the public address system. He said further throwing would result in a penalty against the home team. The warning came after a JMU punter was nearly hit by a snowball. The game continued without further major disruption, but Troy won 26-13.
