南卡罗来纳州里奇兰县哥伦比亚市消息，东南联盟宣布，南卡罗来纳大学将因违反进入比赛区域政策被处以50万美元罚款，原因是10月24日斗鸡队在威廉姆斯-布莱斯体育场以27比24战胜排名第11的田纳西队后，球迷冲入球场。联盟在声明中表示，根据联盟政策，违反进入比赛区域规定的罚款为50万美元，罚金将按规定支付给田纳西队。联盟政策规定，各成员学校须在任何时候将比赛区域的进入人员限制为参赛学生运动员、教练、官员、保障人员和持有适当证件的授权人员；为保障参赛者与观众的安全，在比赛前、中、后任何时间，观众均不得进入比赛区域。政策同时允许成员学校在满足条件时提交庆祝方案：若所有客队人员与比赛官员安全离场后，学校可按事先向联盟办公室提交并向球迷公布的方案，允许球迷进入场地庆祝；满足全部适用要求时可免于罚款。若主办学校能证明已全力阻止冲场、仅少数人闯入比赛区域且与客队互动极少，联盟专员可将罚款降至10万美元。南卡罗来纳队本场战绩变为4胜3负，田纳西队为6胜2负。
South Carolina Gamecocks Fans' Field Storming Brings $500,000 Fine in Columbia, Richland County, South Carolina; Fine to Be Paid to Tennessee Under Conference Policy
Columbia, Richland County, South Carolina — The Southeastern Conference announced that the University of South Carolina will be fined $500,000 for violating the league's access to competition area policy, after fans stormed the field following the Gamecocks' 27-24 win over No. 11 Tennessee at Williams-Brice Stadium on October 24. In its statement, the conference said that under league policy the fine for a violation of the access to competition area policy is $500,000, and the fine will be paid to Tennessee in accordance with conference policy. The policy states that member schools must limit access to competition areas at all times to participating student-athletes, coaches, officials, support personnel and properly credentialed or authorized individuals, and that for the safety of participants and spectators, spectators may not enter the competition area at any time before, during or after a contest. The policy also permits member schools to establish celebration procedures: after all visiting team personnel and game officials have safely exited, a school may allow fans onto the field under a plan submitted to the conference office in advance and communicated to fans, and the fine may be avoided when all applicable requirements are satisfied. If the host school can prove it made a full attempt to prevent the field rush, that only a few individuals entered the competition area and that interaction with the visiting team was minimal, the conference commissioner may reduce the fine to $100,000. The win moved South Carolina to 4-3, while Tennessee fell to 6-2.
