Kansas State has announced “internal sanctions” for its marching band’s halftime show this week, which looked like it contained a NSFW Jayhawk. The band claims that it was a spaceship going into a Jayhawk’s mouth. Regardless, the university is punishing the band.
Kansas State band punished for ‘spaceship’ performance ... but not for the ‘spaceship’ part
This is about sportsmanship, not the “spaceship,” or something.

— kansasdotcom (@kansasdotcom) September 8, 2015 Among the sanctions are a one-game suspension for the band director and a $5,000 fine. It appears the school is more angry about the Jayhawk reference than the “spaceship” part.
Whatever the formation was, a former Kansas State band member says the uproar is unnecessary.
