The Southeastern Conference has fined fifth-ranked LSU $100,000 for fans rushing the field after the Tigers topped then-No. 2 Georgia 36-16 over the weekend.
The league announced the fine Monday. It cited Saturday’s incident as a second violation of the SEC’s policy against fans on the field.
The same thing occurred against Mississippi in 2014.
The SEC said fines collected against school for violating the competition-area policy are deposited in the league’s post-graduate scholarship fund.
The league said a third violation could lead to a fine of up to $250,000.
