Fans rushing the court

[della]

Do you think it's a big deal? Ole Miss beat UT the other day and the fans rushed the court. Ole Miss has to pay $500,000.00.
I think that is a stupid rule and especially 1/2 million dollar fine is crazy.

I think it was cool for special occasions. But it just got so ridiculous watching the 30th best team beat the 7th best team and the fans rush the court. I remember when unc beat a Duke team for their 11th loss of the season and their fans rushed the court. But yeah, the fine is ridiculous. The punishment shouldn't be monetary, the home team should have to forfeit the win.

It's dangerous.

*and it should come out of NIL money.

IMO it's dangerous and needs to stop before someone gets seriously injured. The team whose fans rush the court should forfeit. That would stop it.

This has been going on for years. Has anyone ever been seriously hurt?

i think it's rare, but it has happens and whether it happens a lot or not, there is the possibility. People also take small kids to games who could be trampled by a crowd of drunk students and fans. There was a report last year that an Arizona high school kid suffered a stroke because of court storming, although I'm not sure how that could cause a stroke or how they could prove thats what it was from.
Also found this. It says 75 hospitalized and several in critical condition.

I still think, let them go.

It is students 99% of the time.

When a kid gets run over the parents will sue the school for failing to protect them.

I'll bet you remember that for the rest of your life. This rule seems like a ban on fun.

I've been told that when fans resuh the court or the field, the fines in the SEC go directly to the school tht just lost. I'm sure Tennessee does mind taking an extra $500,000 for a loss versus $0 for a loss.

Maybe not, but it is still silly.

This sums it up. Used to be special and should be special but when you do it all the time it isn't. Also these stupid students rush just to rush and record it for social media.

I think rushing the court is corny now and they shouldn't be fined but it's happening too often. I also don't buy the "getting hurt." Clemson does it every game and rarely does anything happen. But other programs have idiots students and get in players faces now. That's more of a culture thing imo and honestly the player shouldn't have to deal with that as they have everything to lose in that situation

The old white lady posse was ready to whip some ass.

Y'all remember last year when Filipowski pulled his twat during a court storming?

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Throwing things on the floor should be 1 million dollar fine.

 

[Blueheart32]

Hey now, that hurt. A lot. You could tell by the way he grabbed it

I remember his childhood babysitter had to run on the court and save him
