AUBURN — The SEC fined Auburn after Saturday night’s Iron Bowl for violating rules against allowing fans to storm the field, AL.com reports.
Because it’s the third such violation for Auburn — following the 2013 Iron Bowl and last year’s men’s basketball victory against Kentucky — Auburn will have to pay $250,000 to the SEC, which says its rules are due to “safety concerns.”
Auburn defeated first-ranked Alabama 26-14 on Saturday night, securing the SEC West title and giving the Tigers their first victory in the rivalry since 2013.
Outgoing athletics director Jay Jacobs said the fine will be “the sweetest one I ever pay… and the last one I’ll pay. I hope there are many more to come for Auburn.”

All the Auburn fans would probably gladly give a dollar, which would raise well over $250,000……..War Eagle

Did the SEC fine Ole Miss anything for their player hiking his leg like a dog in the end zone?

Just another way for the SEC to confiscate money from their members! It’s not like they’re gonna use it to fix the field. Auburn will do that themselves. They act like the IRS!!!
Mike Johnson
It’s stupid to fine them for rushing their own field. It’s not like they rushed someone else’s field. Get a life SEC. If they wanna rush their own field, then let ‘em! Auburn should refuse to pay it.

It’s not uncommon for opposing teams to rush the field when they steal a win from Bama. It’s a badge of honor for the Bama football program
