"I am deeply troubled by the incident from last Saturday's game, and I am sorry for the harm it caused," Alvarez said in a statement. "I am determined that nothing like this will happen again."

The revised policy will take effect during the Badgers' next home game against Illinois on Nov. 12.

"I appreciated the opportunity to meet with a number of community leaders and students this afternoon to discuss our stadium policies," Alvarez said. "Our plan, before our next home football game, is to have a revised policy in place. Our department is committed to working collaboratively to make our stadium a great and safe place for fans to watch a football game."
