SEC Says Vanderbilt Avoided $500,000 Field-Storming Fine With Delayed Rush After LSU Win

The ruling followed Vanderbilt's preapproved, delayed field‑rush protocol.

Overview

  • The conference said fans entered only after all LSU personnel and game officials had exited, satisfying access‑area policy.
  • Under SEC rules, violations carry a $500,000 penalty in conference games, paid to the opposing school.
  • The policy permits a delayed celebration if the school files its plan with the league in advance and communicates it to fans.
  • Vanderbilt defeated LSU 31–24, improving to 6–1 and climbing to No. 10 in the AP Top 25.
  • ESPN College GameDay is scheduled to be in Nashville on Saturday for Vanderbilt's home game against No. 15 Missouri.
