University of Alabama students who threw cups at University of Georgia players celebrating their victory over the Crimson Tide will be punished. The incident got national attention and sharp comments from head football coach Nick Saban. It also resulted in new rules.

Delta Kappa Epsilon and Theta Chi fraternities will lose their seats close to the field for the next two home games. University spokeswoman Cathy Andreen said the groups would be moved farther back into the stands.

To prevent future incidents, the Office of Judicial Affairs will begin enforcing new sanctions against students who throw anything at any sporting event.

For a first offense, the student will be forbidden from attending the next three games of that team with a student ticket. The punishment would extend into the next season if necessary. Andreen said the student must also attend "Capstone Character Class."

If caught twice, the student cannot buy student tickets for that sport again. After a third violation, the student will be barred from all sporting events for the rest of his or her academic career.
