Court storming solution

Expulsions/arrests are the only way that I can see incrementally curbing this "epidemic" in an efficient fashion, but court/field storming is already pretty volatile.

When one guy streaks and security chases/tackles him, it's whatever. What's going to happen when 20 officers (how many are at a game?) try and peacefully apprehend some of the 2,000 fans on the court? How about football, where the number is maybe five times that?

I can't envision this ending in anything but a disaster, and I don't feel the problem is big enough to warrant the risk.

I'd rather set the money on fire. If I had it to do all over again, I'd send my kids to a trade or vocational school instead of "college". Simply a waste of time and money.

I had this exact discussion with a group over lunch today. Most were highly educated men from great universities but most agreed the collegiate degree just doesn't have the same significance it once had. As we were finishing up a man and his son (who a couple of guys knew) came over and visited with us. The father has owned a very successful plumbing business for years and his 19 year old son was with him "learning the business". Guessing here but the company probably is in the high 7 figure range annually. One guy said "there's your example men"!

If you're identified on the court, you are barred from coming to games for the next 4 years. A lot of students would think twice if they were never allowed to come back to a game their entire time in college.

Welp... go right ahead. I'm sure that ONE person acting a fool is not a big problem to contain! Go ahead and let us know when a dozen or so of your buds go to UK and do this. It will make UT history and I want to watch it live!!!

Been said above, but fake fans earning their team a win. No can do.

Terrible logic. When do people storm courts? Not a win over a rival. When you win as large underdog. Large amounts of People aren't going to pay out a bunch of money to watch a game, get a hotel, food, and gas when they are heavy underdogs

I'm not going to wade through this. All due respect to this Wake was wrong in their handling of it!!!!
DID ANYONE happen to see the Kansas WVU game? WVU security allowed the KU players time to get off the court.

Compromise, fans can still storm the court but it has to be a choreographed flash mob type situation onto the court. If the fans break the choreography they have to leave.

I get there is a certain risk at fans storming the court, but this whole situation with Duke seems overblown. If you saw the face of Filipowski as he was helped off the floor, you would have expected his leg was blown off. He perfectly fine with no limp and didn't even undergo any type of intense examination.

Sounds like Duke is butt hurt and using this as a means to deflect their loss.

This x 100.

Do you really want a team to forfeit an important game and miss an NCAA Tournament over something a bunch of drunk students they don't even know did? That is about as unfair as it gets. This has only became a big deal because a sore loser Duke player faked an injury.

I'm still more concerned with Bammers Burton punching a petite college girl. That didn't Garner nearly the same amount of attention

That's ridiculous. Have you not seen the side view video where the WFU student jumped into Filipowski. It was definitely intentional.
