Texas Tech "strongly condemned" vandalism that targeted Texas A&M team buses this weekend, but disputed what it called a "careless" tweet by Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne.

Before Saturday night's game, A&M athletic director Bill Byrne said that manure went "from one end to the other" in one bus and was spread on the outside of three others. He tweeted the buses were "spray-painted."

Texas Tech said the buses were not spray painted, but washable shoe polish was used on the windows of one of the buses. Tech also said "No feces were found either in or on the buses. Fish bait was dropped onto the floor of one of the buses."

The mess was cleaned up by bus drivers and Holiday Inn staff before Byrne saw it.

"While incidents such as the ones alleged are inappropriate and strongly condemned by Texas Tech, it is no less wrong to condemn the entirety of our university, students and supporters by posting inaccurate information on the internet for the purpose of sensationalizing the actions of one or a very few," Texas Tech said in a statement.
