SEC Fines Ole Miss $250,000 After Fans Throw Debris On Field Against Georgia

The SEC has fined Ole Miss $250,000 after fans threw bottles and other debris onto the field during Saturday's 42-7 loss to Georgia in Oxford, according to ESPN.

The incident occurred during the second quarter after a controversial pass interference call against Ole Miss defensive back Jaylon Braxton. Frustrated fans began throwing objects onto the field at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, causing a delay of approximately six minutes.

The SEC announced the fine Monday, citing violations of the conference's sportsmanship, game management and alcohol availability policies.

According to the conference, the incident disrupted the game and endangered players and other participants.

Under SEC regulations, schools can face fines and the suspension of alcohol sales when fans throw bottles or other objects onto the playing field.

The conference announced that Ole Miss will be allowed to continue selling alcohol at athletic events but warned that those privileges could be suspended in the future.

The loss dropped Ole Miss to 6-3 on the season, while Georgia improved to 8-1.
