Security filmed assaulting students after Univ. of Houston’s AAC Championship win
he University of Houston’s athletics director said Saturday night he was “disappointed and angered” by the actions of security workers who tackled, punched and wrestled with UH fans as they rushed onto the TDECU Stadium field Saturday at the end of the American Athletic Conference championship game.
Several videos posted on social media sites showed security personnel with Contemporary Services Corporation, which provides security services for UH athletics, punching and tackling individual fans, sometimes pursuing them for 10 to 15 yards as other fans dashed by unimpeded onto the field.
This video (courtesy of @KaboomCoog) shows multiple incidences of security singling out students on the field.

One video showed a CSC worker throwing at least three punches at one fan, including one punch as the fan lay on the turf. Another showed a CSC worker throwing a body block at a fan as a co-worker held the fan from behind. In another instance, a CSC worker grabbed a fan’s shirt from behind and threw him to the turf.
