It is not guaranteed, only speculations. This problem has occurred for decades and has never caused any overwhelming problems. The farthest they are speaking of going is to fine the team. For example, in the article linked, the SEC was one of the first targets for this 'issue'. Also, social media has a way of skewing the narrative into something it is not. I will not be convinced on topics unless it comes from the main source. As of now, nothing about this has come up from any NCAA, ESPN, or CFP committees.

This is not true. The article only talks about possible conferences for fine, not NCAA punishment or playoff consequences. There is no statement from the NCAa,ESPN, or the CFP backing this up. Field storming has happened for years without causing major issuesSocial media is making it sound worse than it  is.If it werreal, the NCAA would would have said something by now.

This article by the Sports Business Journal claims that the SEC has changed its field storming policy, and they will now charge a flat $500,000 fee for on-field and court storming. Diving deeper into the issue, I found an article by CBS Sports that states the same findings from SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, that the SEC "is setting the penalty for rushing the field or court after a game is over at $500,000." There isnt any report of fans being banned, only fines given to the SEC schools.
