Financial penalties are imposed for violations in all sports sponsored by the Conference. Institutional penalties range from $100,000 for a first offense, $250,000 for a second offense and $500,000 for a third and subsequent offenses.

For Conference contests, fines are paid to the opposing institution. For non-conference contests, fines levied against schools for violation of the access to competition area policy are deposited into the SEC Post-Graduate Scholarship Fund.

Again?

That's like 400k in 24 hours.

Woody has Wade's checkbook, so we're cool.

Is it only football that the money goes to an SEC General Scholarship Fund?

You sure? I thought the part about paying it to the opponent was proposed but didn't pass.

I could certainly be wrong though.

Does this make Kentucky a rent a win?

I cannot find evidence that was voted on and passed.

Has any coach or player been injured (much less seriously) by fans rushing the court/field?

Clemson allows fans on the field after every game. They've even designed their goalposts to come down to prevent injury to fans trying to tear them down. Doesn't seem to bother anything.

JMHO.

GEAUX TIGERS!
