SEC AD Suggests Schools Forfeit Game If Court Is Rushed

Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne has a solution when it comes to preventing students from storming the court. He thinks punishments should go beyond the practice of simply fining schools and onto forcing home teams to take a forfeit when a court storming occurs...

“You have two kids run out there, no, but when you have a sustained rush like what just happened the other day at Wake, you lose the game,” Byrne said at the Birmingham Tip Off Club on Monday. “That will get people to stop."

“Kids aren’t going to be in the stands saying “Oh, I don’t want to do this because the school is gonna get fined $200,000,” Byrne said. “That doesn’t enter their mindset. But if they knew the game that they just had been a part of, celebrated a great win that led to that, if they knew that they were going to lose that game immediately, that would stop them.”
