Picture this potential scenario in the Southeastern Conference this fall: On Sept. 30 in Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn takes down undefeated, No. 1–ranked, two-time reigning national champion Georgia. Tigers fans celebrate their first victory over the rival Bulldogs since 2017 by storming the field.

And in response, the SEC moves Auburn’s next home game against Georgia, in 2025, to Athens. The Tigers would play the Bulldogs between the hedges three straight seasons, 2024 to ’26. That would be the price for storming the field.

Sound like a draconian penalty for something that has been part of the fabric of college sports for decades? Well, it’s on the table as a possible sanction as the SEC searches for a stronger deterrent to field storming than six-figure fines.

Also, what would be considered storming the field? What percentage of fans or would it equate to just 1 person jumping onto the field? It would need to be a very objective number.

Every AD and university president after their school storms the field: "this is one fine I'm happy to pay"!
So what gives?

What happens when they barricade the field and it results in a repeat of the Hillsborough disaster?

Bama loses 2 toad games and gets knocked out of the playoff….

SEC: That’s it let’s make to where Bama never plays on the road again.

If this passes, there is an easy solution. Every LSU fan who attends an away game needs to change into the opposing teams colors if LSU loses, and storm the field in celebration.

Yeah, no shot the school presidents and AD's agree to a rule that requires them to forfeit 10's of millions of dollars, not to mention the local economies that would take a hit.

Meanwhile, Clemson allows fans to storm the field and has goalposts specifically designed to fold down.

No way this rule should be imposed.
