Worst tragedy: the worst I have seen! Lane kiffin Ole miss officially incur FBS1 bad wrath” as they faces brutal fine punishment of $350,000 for over patriotic’ while others receives fair judgement of leaser fine” surely serious politics ongoing” here is the full structure of the remaining charges….
The SEC has penalized both Ole Miss and LSU for breaking conference regulations. The Rebels will receive a $350,000 fine for fans storming the field, while the Tigers will be the second school this season to receive a $250,000 fine for fans hurling garbage and debris onto the playing surface.
After Ole Miss defeated Georgia 28–10, fans flocked to the field, resulting in the fine. The Rebels were penalized an extra $100,000 for fans arriving on the field before the game ended, which is equivalent to a second fine of $250,000 for court storming or field rushing (Ole Miss was also fined following last year’s victory against LSU). Georgia leaves Oxford slightly wealthier because the opponent is immediately compensated for storming the field.
LSU’s fine came after fans threw trash onto the field to contest a controversial call in a 42-13 loss against Alabama. Trailing 21-6 in the third quarter, Tigers were called for a facemask on a third-down play that could have gotten them the ball back; instead, the penalty helped set up a 19-yard touchdown run from Jalen Milroe that iced the game.
According to the SEC’s rules on sportsmanship, game management, and alcohol availability, the Tigers will be penalized for the incident. The school must also identify any supporters who are throwing garbage using security footage and video, and they will be prohibited from attending LSU athletic events for the remainder of the 2024–25 academic year. Additionally, the institution will need to submit a report to the SEC and adjust its game day procedures.
The SEC retains the power to prohibit alcohol sales at games if the problem recurs at any more LSU home games. The penalty is comparable to the one imposed on Texas during its match against Georgia on October 19.
Since Texas fans disrupted their team’s 30–15 loss to Georgia, spectators hurling trash onto the field has been a common problem in college football. The officials reversed a pass interference call after the break, which let Texas score one of their two touchdowns. Fans of Michigan and Clemson have also thrown trash onto the field in recent weeks in protest over a call. Last Saturday at a game against Utah, a BYU cheer coach reportedly passed out after being struck by a water bottle.
Following the Texas game, Georgia coach Kirby Smart stated, “Now we’ve set a precedent that if you throw a bunch of stuff on the field and endanger athletes that you’ve got a chance to get your call reversed.” And that’s bad because that seems risky to me. We do not desire that.
