Houston CSC member assaults fan who rushes field

On Saturday, the American Athletic Conference (AAC) title game was played between the Temple Owls and the University of Houston Cougars. With both teams inside the top 25 and having 10 wins plus, it was nearly certain the winner would find their way to a New Year’s bowl game. A huge step for what is considered a Mid Major football conference. Houston would go on to win the game 24-13, but what happened after the game has been the cause of outcry from fans, with Contemporary Services Corporation (CSC) assaulting one of the many fans rushing the field after the win on Saturday.

As the fans rushed the field, a member of the Contemporary Services Corporation (CSC) assaulted a fan. In the video, the fan is clearly rushing the field along with numerous other fans, seemingly doing nothing out of the ordinary. The fan appears to be singled out and punched repeatedly by a security guard. The punching continues as the fan drops to the ground. Eventually, the fan escapes the security guard and continues rushing the field with the rest of the fans. Several students captured videos of the incident.

The different videos drew the attention of Houston’s Vice President for Athletics, Hunter Yurachek. Yurachek released a statement this statement in regards to CSC.

At least Houston is taking the necessary moves to protect students in the future, and isn’t afraid to take quick action against companies not making the right decisions. These actions are unacceptable and should be immediately reported to heads of athletic departments. This is a terrible event, but well done Houston for taking these necessary steps in keeping the peace.
