After notching the biggest win of Brian Kelly’s early tenure, LSU will now have to foot the bill for the after-party.
The Tigers knocked off previously unbeaten Ole Miss on Saturday, 45–20, in front of a raucous Tiger Stadium crowd that celebrated by storming the field. As a result, the SEC handed down a hefty $250,000 fine to LSU.
This is the school’s third instance of fans entering the competition field under the league’s current policy. LSU was last fined for this infraction after its win over Georgia on Oct. 13, 2018. Money collected by the conference via fines are deposited into the SEC Post-Graduate Scholarship Fund.
