The Southeastern Conference has fined the University of Kentucky $5,000 because fans stormed the field at Commonwealth Stadium and removed a goal post Saturday after the Wildcats defeated Georgia.

This is a stupid rule that was put in place in response to the fight in the NBA with Artest and some fans. My understanding is that the fine goes up quite a bit after the first incident. I understand the concern but geezzz....

There should be an exemption for post game celebration events.

From the link:

"Subsequent violations before 2009 could result in fines of $25,000 or $50,000, the SEC said yesterday."

I sure hope we get those violations!!! [Smile]
