FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — As the SEC reviews ways to halt field and court storming, Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne has come up with a proposal, according to a recent interview.
"I truly believe [in forfeiting wins] — if we said that the home team, if they storm the field or the court, they're going to lose that game right then and there, that will stop it."Alabama AD Greg Byrne told ESPN The league has seen rise in recent years of fans taking celebration to playing surfaces and Arkansas is one of them. After upsetting then No. 4 Tennessee in Razorbacks Stadium Oct. 5, fans rushed the field for the first time since defeating Texas in 2021.
To this point of the 2024-25 athletic calendar, the SEC has collected $2.6 million from league members who don't comply with league parameters. Razorbacks athletics director Hunter Yurachek voiced his indifference about these types of fines before, encouraging fans to bask in the glory of unforgettable moments.

Bama fans don’t typically storm the field. The old mantra: Act like you’ve been there.
“Its dangerous. There are good reasons why the league has sought to ban it. “
Yes Delbert, it certainly sounds very dangerous. Also, I think after the game, the fans should be dismissed in an orderly fashion, by sections and rows...no talking. LOL
The safety cult has done unmeasurable damage to America.
That works for going to Communion.
Yeah... those fans are WAY too excited and happy! They need to somberly applaud like golf fans and quietly find their way out of the stadium.
America 2025.
Idiotic.
Very true! Ole Miss fans better be careful......
Better idea water cannons rubber bullets and police dogs it worked in a 1960s oh yeah and don’t forget the long riot batons punished idiot fans not the players. Throw in some mass arrests big mandatory non-dismissible fines it’ll stop overnight.
Idiots. There will be false fans storming the field to throw the game to their team.

The fans need to find a good far-left, Marxist DNC Stooge in black robes and sue ‘em.

People have died from fans pulling down goal posts. And it costs tens of thousands of dollars to replace them.

Yeah, let’s just suck out what little joy there is left in sports.
We used to throw fresh produce at the Stanford marching band. Double points if you made a shot into the tuba, triple for a saxophone, quadruple for a trumpet or trombone, and quintuple for a clarinet. But not cans and bottles. And nothing firmer than a small tomato. We didn’t want to hurt them with whole green apples upside the head. Just organic plant material so the game could continue - maybe the field was a little slippery from the strawberries. Don’t recall any banana peels.
But hey we were young. And drunk. And it was a tradition. And nobody said we couldn’t.
Don’t recall anybody streaking or tearing down any goalposts or the like. :-)
Oh please. Grow a pair.
I did it many times in college.
Heck, we beat Texas one year in football in Little Rock and we stormed the field in Fayetteville, took down one goalpost and paraded it up and down Dickson Street (big college hanout).
Cops helped us.
I watched a bit of the Waste Management golf tournament this last weekend. They had signs up on the 16th stadium hole that said if you throw, you go. I didn't see any beer cups on the field, but there were some folks in the lower seats that got hit with adult beverage spray after a golfer hit a hole in one.
Beurocrats at their maximum.
Bama fans don’t typically storm the field. The old mantra: Act like you’ve been there.
Rammer Jammer has worked for years.
Celebration for us. Humiliation for them.
The league has been against this for over 30 years. This isn’t new. There’s no need to do it.
WM has become kind of infamous for the level of drunken crowd. Last year was wild. Of course being golf there’s no home team to doc.
Clear rules and accountability to those rules will change behavior.
