The NCAA will ban fans for storming the field after football games

Question

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.

Answer 1

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 issues. Social media is making it sound worse than it  is.If it were real, the NCAA would would have said something by now.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

The claim that the SEC has changed its field storming policies came from Street and Smiths Sports Business Journal. A media bias and fact checker website credits it as highly reliable. They are known in the sports world as a prominent sports journal that keeps things up to date and short. ESPN the main sports media company has also brought this to attention that storming the field will now come with a fine for college students in the south eastern conference.

The question is will this be implemented to the NCAA/ the entirety of college football teams. Since the south eastern conference has added a fine, so has the ACC. while they cannot ban schools from rushing the field it is being fined up to $200,000 for repeated offences. There has been no news for larger fines or bans established by the NCAA. Until then it is best to see if the school you route for has fined it based on the conference their in. as well the fines go to the school not the students/fans. Hence storming the field may still happen but will be regulated by schools most likely.
