LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The Southeastern Conference fined Kentucky $50,000 Monday for failing to prevent fans from rushing the field after the Wildcats' triple-overtime victory over top-ranked LSU.
It was the third violation dating back to last year for Kentucky, which was fined $5,000 for the celebration after a win last year against Georgia and $25,000 earlier this year after a victory over Louisville.
Under the SEC policy, "access to competition areas shall be limited to participating student-athletes, coaches, officials, support personnel and properly-credentialed individuals at all times." Universities are held responsible if spectators rush into the competition area.
Kentucky defeated LSU 43-37 Saturday -- its first victory over a top-ranked team since 1964. Tell me what you think about that.

Knew it was comin.... I'm sure UK is willin to pay the fine considering the circumstances. I know the SEC voted on this rule, but they can't expect the fans to just stay in the stands and say YAHOO when they take down a top rank team especially #1. Even more so that it's Kentucky. I know they arrested 22 people most of them for trespassin(bein on the field).

First offense 5k, 2nd offense 25k, 3rd 50k. It's progressive. Kinda like NA$CAR.
