Visiting school! What fan would rush after getting a beat down at home? But just wait till next year!

aubrun and Georgia had this back and forth in the Eighties. The hedges in Athens get destroyed, and the next year Georgia fans dig up the insignia at midfield and the fans in the stands get hosed. I was there for that one, watching and laughing about as loud as I could.

Not sure I've ever seen this happen. I bet a lot of bad can happen rushing the opposite team's field, but this is what make college football great. Had this been the NFL someone would have been shot or stabbed to death. Understood choas we'll call it in college.

I believe the home field is responsible for field security. However, that doesn’t mean there’s an automatic fine. Do other conferences have a rule about fans storming the field? I think it’s a conference rule (the SEC administers the fine), not an NCAA rule.

It's written as automatic in the PAC (though it's been waived before.) All the P5 conferences have the rule although the first fine differs.

I was watching and SMH. Rush the field because you beat a 4-7 team?

It’s the Pac 1 or 2 at best … often the Pac none so I’m sure that qualified as something special for a big part of the Pac none.
