Field Storming After Tennessee Win Raises Fine Question for South Carolina

South Carolina fans stormed the field after the Gamecocks' win over Tennessee, and the celebration has raised a straightforward question: how much will South Carolina be fined for it? Field stormings after big conference wins routinely draw financial penalties, and this one, following a victory over a ranked Tennessee team, is no exception.

The scene itself was the story first. Beating Tennessee sent the home crowd onto the field in celebration, the kind of moment that defines a season for fans, even if the school itself ends up paying for it afterward.

The exact size of the fine is the detail still to be settled in the reporting on the incident. Whatever the amount, South Carolina will have to pay it as the cost of a memorable afternoon, while Tennessee is left with the loss that sparked the celebration.
