SEC Presidents Approve Plan to Increase Fines for Fans Storming Field, Court

SEC presidents approved a plan Thursday that will levy massive fines for universities if their fans storm the football field or basketball court, per David Ubben of The Athletic.

There will be a $100,000 fine for a first offense, a $250,000 fine for a second offense and a $500,000 fine for a third offense. Those penalties have been significantly increased from before ($50,000 for first offense, $100,000 for second offense and $250,000 for third offense).

In addition, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey can decree that teams pay additional fines as well.

Other implementations will be put into play.
