The Bright Football Complex was broken into on Monday evening. Athletic tape was used to write "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You," a line from the University of Texas' fight song, on the locker room floor, and football equipment and locker nameplates were stolen from the building.
The complex houses the locker room, training facilities and coaches' offices for the football team.
The break-in was not committed by anyone from the University of Texas, said University Police Department chief Elmer Schneider.
"It was a single act of an individual who acted out inappropriately," Schneider said. "We have no indication that there's any affiliation with Texas or any other conference schools."
UPD was notified by the Athletic Department of the break-in on July 21.
"The individual has been identified and interviewed. The athletic department does not wish to pursue charges. Restitution will be made and we consider the matter closed," Schneider said.
No similar break-ins have occurred recently around the campus, Schneider said.
