New details came out today regarding how Clemson will go about its longtime tradition of “Gathering at the Paw” after football games this year.
The ACC’s “new court and field storming” policy will affect how Clemson conducts the Gathering at the Paw, which has been allowed at Clemson since Memorial Stadium was first built in 1942.
As announced by the conference last month, ACC schools will be fined for court and field storming to protect players and coaches, especially those on the visiting teams. ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips detailed the fine structure for schools violating the league’s new court and field storming rules: $50,000 first offense; $100,000 second offense; $200,000 third offense.
