The SEC has elected to punish Ole Miss after its fans caused a delay in Saturday’s 42-7 loss to Georgia.

HA, HA, This is funny. Maybe they can get in line behind Texas, and Alabama.
Classless university.
Should be a penalty against home team - at least if it continues after a warning, 5 minutes, etc. Also interesting that Fowler & Herbstreit continued to ramble on about nothing but not a word about the classless & dangerous scene going on right under them.
With today's technology it wouldn't be that difficult to identify many of the perpetrators, lifetime ban from ALL SEC venues would be my suggestion.
That money should go to Georgia, not the sec office. Trash throwing trash.
You’re right I think Texas went back and identified some of the people, but maybe they were required to do that.
A $250,000 fine to the university is not a deterrent to this behavior. A 15 yard penalty or suspension of alcohol sales for future games would be meaningful
"The SEC did announce that alcohol sales at Vaught Hemingway Stadium will not be suspended" Take the booze away. Fans could care less if the University is punished.
Empty the entire section if the crap continues after a warning is given and fans don't identify the guilty idots.
put chicken wire up in the end zone student section. Possibly all the way around the stadium to keep fans from storming the field also. It would be embarrassing look.
250k..still not enough.
These pathetic trash fans don’t give a flip about the university being fined. It’s not their money and neither they nor the football team will feel any impact. The university did nothing wrong.
What is inexcusable is that it went as long as it did and there was no penalty. They should have been penalized after 1 minute and again after 3 and again after 5. If you get caught in a fight or pretend peeing on your opponent, they don’t say “if you do that again you might get a penalty”. No, you get the penalty. And it is a dead ball foul so if you do it again, you get another. And another. The refs blew this one and nothing was deterred.
I’d also point out, there was not a penalty called on texas, and it was way worse. I believe alabama was after the game ended. Inexcusable, to be sure and something needed to be done but you can’t penalize for post-game activities. I’d love to know what the “school” actually did.
I agree with previous comments……the fine should be much greater… at least half mil and it should go to the opposing team to be used for recruitment. Why not clear the offending section during the delay…that would send a message!
Classless. Plus, it was clearly a proper call. The DB was holding the receiver’s arm preventing the catch.
