This claim has been circulating on TikTok and different sports outlets after several, high profile field storming incidents this football season. Many posts make it seem as if the NCAA had already finalized a nation wide ban, and that every school would be punished with major fines/ forfeits. Due to field storming being a big part of football culture, especially at Oregon, this grabbed my attention quickly. After checking official statements from the NCAA, I found that while they are considering implementing stronger regulations and deterrents, no finalized rule exists that fully "bans" rushing the field after a win. Independent conferences like the SEC have introduced their own harsher penalties but this is not a NCAA wide mandate. Overall, this claim is misleading as it exaggerates the certainty and scale of the rule taking early discussions and portraying it as confirmed policy.
