Report: SEC Mulling Taking Away Home Games, Forfeits as Field-Storming Punishments

The SEC fines schools when fans storm the field or court after notable wins, but it is reportedly considering a more drastic approach to discourage students from doing so in the future.

Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated reported the SEC is considering a proposal that would strip a school of its next home game against the same opponent it just played if the fans storm the field. If such a rule was already in place, Tennessee would lose its home football game against Alabama in 2024 because its fans stormed the field after its 2022 win.
