Saban rule in effect for 2023- Field storming fines increased

Still want to know what a college with a limited security staff is supposed to do to safely herd 100k individuals with minds of their own. Perhaps the SEC thinks we should hire the National Guard for every home game? Maybe machine gun nests in the end zones? Pillboxes behind the bench? Land mines around the goalposts?

Not sure this is aimed at us and I'll tell you why.

Our response after beating Bama was not just due to the effect it had on the season standings, as we all know. It wasn't just another important game. . . .

The next week LSU stormed the field after beating Ole Miss. I remember thinking at the time (and it was probably discussed here) that it was a case of their fans wanting to participate in the kind of spectacle we had at Neyland.

I think this ruling is aimed more in response to the LSU game. Nobody storms the field after beating Ole Miss. The SEC saw that and knew they had to do something, or the next thing you know people would be storming the field after beating...well, I already said Ole Miss.

I would have loved to storm the field at LSU when we were the only ones left in Tigger Stadium. :cool:

Clemson doesn't storm the field.

They have a tradition called "Meet at the Paw". It encouraged fans to bring their kids in the field to interact with the players after every home game, win or lose.

Eh, just make it a line item in the yearly budget and plan ahead. Mark down $500K and call in "Fan Experience Enhancement" or something.

Maybe add a few bucks to concession costs to offset it a little, it isn't like anybody will really care at this point anyway, prices are already ridiculous.

How is the rule worded exactly? If it doesn’t specify identity of fans but instead only refers to the hosting university; one COULD theoretically storm an opponent’s field and force the opponent school to pay the fans’ school. Many laws have been used to produce absurd results due to incorrect assumptions and poorly defined terms 😂😂😂

These mfers....

Anything else you want to kill about college football??

1) The school risks being sued if their security uses excessive force trying to uphold a rule.- That could well exceed 100k in legal fines.

2) Eat $#!+...

3) Most of these rush the field happenings aren't planned. So how would you know how much counter personnel you would need? There were 10s of thousands of UT fans still sitting in thw stands after we beat Bama.

When people are stupid enough to conduct themselves in a manner which they know will result in detention or some other from of physical restraint, they will lose if they sue the University or the State and Local police forces. Being drunk is not a get out of jail free card.
