First the SEC can't find good enough referee's for an NCAA football games in there conference, now the SEC wants to fine schools for rushing the basketball court after a game is over. South Carolina today got fined $25,000 for having their fans rush the court after the huge upset of newly crowned #1 Kentucky.
Why is it the SEC thinks that it can take away one of the greatest staples of college basketball in rushing the court after your college team wins the game? It's not like people are getting hurt all of the time doing this. The SEC wants to be the "no fun league" of college sports. What's next for the SEC, are they going to take the cheering away from the fans next? Cause that is what rushing th court is like. This has been a tradition of college sports for a hundred or so years. All of our greatest college sports memories end with the crowd storming the court or field. It's what makes college sports so great, the thrill of your team as bad as they may be, knocking off the mighty "Goliath" that rules there land.
So SEC when you have an idea to fine the next team that has their crowd rush the court after a big win. Throw it in trash can and accept that this is history and this is what makes the crowds feel so close to there college team. Don't become the "No Fun League" or you will have every college student and fan staying at home to watch a game where they don't have to worry about getting there school fined.
