MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla — The Southeastern Conference is ratcheting up penalties on schools whose fans storm the field or rush the court, doing away with an escalating fine system and now charging $500,000 per incident.
The conference also has the authority to wave the fine if the visiting team and officials are allowed to get to the locker room before fans descend.
The new policy replaces an old one that called for an escalating fine structure that started with $100,000 for the first offense, raised to $250,000 for the second then hit $500,000 for the third and subsequent incidents.
