Bevo the Texas Longhorns mascot banned from Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl over safety concerns

Bevo, the Texas Longhorns mascot, has been banned from the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl due to safety concerns. Organizers stated there is not enough room on the sidelines at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the bull alongside players and staff. Fans have expressed anger over the decision, questioning why the stadium cannot accommodate the mascot. Some have suggested that Texas should opt out of the game due to this issue. This ban follows a similar restriction at the SEC Championship game against Georgia earlier this month, where safety was also cited as the reason for Bevo's absence. The Longhorns will face the Arizona State Sun Devils on January 1.
