The Southeastern Conference fined Kentucky $50,000 Monday for failing to prevent fans from rushing the field after the Wildcats’ triple-overtime victory over top-ranked LSU.
It was the third violation, dating to last year for Kentucky, which was fined $5,000 for the celebration after a win last year against Georgia and $25,000 earlier this year after a victory over Louisville.
Under the SEC policy, “access to competition areas shall be limited to participating student-athletes, coaches, officials, support personnel and properly credentialed individuals at all times.” Universities are held responsible if spectators rush into the competition area.
Kentucky defeated LSU 43-37 Saturday — its first victory over a top-ranked team since 1964.

I think that policy is gay… If the fans want to celebrate, then let them do so!

I agree Chuck. That’s just gay. It should be up to the University to allow it or not. If they want to accept the liability then that’s fine, but to have the NCAA “oversee” is just ridiculous.
Plus, KY BEAT LSU!?!? I mean c’mon! I think it’s worth going to jail for that game!
