Overview

  • Arkansas will display a three-minute videoboard countdown after major wins before opening the field or court to fans.
  • The SEC now levies a $500,000 penalty for each field or court storming across all sports, replacing its previous escalating fines.
  • The conference can waive the penalty if the visiting team, staff and game officials reach the locker room before fans enter.
  • Athletic director Hunter Yurachek said the approach prioritizes participant safety while preserving postgame celebrations.
  • Arkansas may first use the procedure Sept. 27 against No. 6 Notre Dame; SEC-game fines go to the visiting team, while nonconference fines go to the league office.
