The Big Ten determined that Chambers? postgame comments regarding officials were in violation of Big Ten Conference Agreement 10.01, which states in part that ?The Big Ten Conference expects all contests involving a member institution to be conducted without compromise to any fundamental element of sportsmanship. Such fundamental elements include integrity of the competition, civility toward all, and respect, particularly toward opponents and officials.?
The Big Ten Conference considers this matter concluded and will have no further comment.

On Monday, Chambers readdressed his comments and spoke about how Penn State Director of Athletics Sandy Barbour is "100 percent" behind him.
