SEC Fines University of Tennessee After Fans Storm Field After Alabama Win Which Also Sees the Vols Back in the Top 10 in AP Poll

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.
