Iconic college football celebrations can be fun — but if they involve students storming the field, they’re going to cost your school.
On Sunday, the Southeastern Conference fined LSU $250,000 for allowing students to storm the field after the team beat Ole Miss.

Vols men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl, however, tweeted that the fine was “worth every penny!”
