SEC hits Tennessee with $250K fine after fans throw trash on field during Ole Miss game

The University of Tennessee has been hit with a six-figure fine following the scene at Neyland Stadium on Saturday night.

The SEC announced Monday that it has assessed a $250,000 fine to Tennessee after fans threw objects onto the field late in UT’s game against Ole Miss. The outrage from those on hand came after officials ruled Volunteers tight end Jacob Warren short of the line to gain on a crucial fourth-and-24 play late in the game. Ole Miss would go on to win 31-26.

The play was reviewed and the call on the field was upheld, causing an uproar from fans who were already upset about numerous other calls throughout the game.
