The Southeastern Conference has fined the University of Tennessee after fans stormed the field following Saturday night’s win over the Alabama Crimson Tide.
The $100,000 fine, which was handed down yesterday (Sunday), is a result of SEC‘s policy that went into effect in June of last year.
Schools are fined $100,000 for their first offense, $250,000 for a second offense and $500,000 for a third offense.
This was Tennessee‘s first offense as the updated policy reset schools’ prior record for fines. Under the previous policy, Tennessee’s fine would have been $250,000.
