Damn **** has gotten serious

OXFORD – The next time Ole Miss fans storm the field at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, it will cost the school a quarter of a million dollars.
The Southeastern Conference announced new – and much harsher -- field-storming rules on Friday at the league's annual spring meetings.
Per the new policy, first-time field storming offenders will be slapped with a $50,000 fine. Schools will pay $100,000 for a second offense and $250,000 for third-time and any other subsequent offenses.
Previously, the league rules gave out a $5,000 fine for the first offense, $25,000 for the second and $50,000 for the third. The penalties would also reset after three years. No more.
Ole Miss had to write a $50,000 check to the SEC last October, when its fans committed their third offense and stormed the field after the Rebels beat then-No. 3 Alabama.
Schools don't get a blank slate with the new rules, so the Rebels would have to fork over the full $250,000 if it happens again.

Objective evidence: OM fans more annoying than cowbells.

Deal with it.

So in other words, Ole Miss has nothing to worry about. [puts sunglasses on, performs karate moves]

Does that also apply to celebrations of a good season?

Too bad. Was looking forward to storming the field this year after we beat Alabama, but I suspect the Athletic Department will actually try to prevent it rather than just "trying to prevent it"

It may not be a conference rule but it's against the law to ***** out your wife to 18 year old recruits too.

Y'all have it all wrong. They aren't storming the field, that's just the few remaining fans left at the end of a game all leaving for the grove at the same time.....

3rd offense you say?

Would someone care to refresh my memory on the previous offenses?

eta: also are Josten's Peach Bowl rings refundable?

From memory once was after beating Mullen the first time, second was Bama last year, not sure if there were others.

Nice that we never stormed the field last year, even after the TAMU or Auburn wins.

Yeah a few people tried but they were crushed instantly by security
