Kansas state band said it will pay a $5,000 fine after its marching band shaped itself into the rival Jayhawk mascot and what appeared to be a large penis during a halftime show.<\/p>\n

The school said on Tuesday that band director Frank Tracz will miss the November 28 game against Kansas and that university officials must now pre-approve future halftime shows.<\/p>\n

The university said it decided to pay the self-imposed fine after the Big 12 conference warned of potential sportsmanship and ethical conduct violations.<\/p>\n

Tracz insisted last week that the troupe had been trained to depict a Jayhawk in battle with a spaceship for the Star Trek-themed half-time against South Dakota during the team’s home opener.<\/p>\n

However, the ship bore an uncanny resemblance to male genitalia – and as it ‘attacked’, it looked like it was entering the Jayhawk’s mouth.<\/p>\n
