This new fine comes on top of a previously assessed $100,000 penalty for a similar offense when fans invaded the field to celebrate the victory of the 16th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels, who won 55-49. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey stated, “The interruption and postponement of Saturday night’s contest should never be a feature of any event under the purview of the SEC.” He went on to elaborate that the measures taken, including the financial sanctions and required evaluations, align with the supervisory responsibilities granted to the SEC office by its member institutions. The sum of $75,000 will be subtracted from Ole Miss’ portion of the SEC’s revenue distribution. Moreover, the SEC has directed the University of Mississippi to endeavor to identify those responsible for hurling objects and to ban them from attending any further Rebels sports events for the remainder of the 2023-2024 academic year. The university has been mandated to reassess and revise its event management protocols and policies regarding the availability of alcohol, with the aim of averting a recurrence of such incidents. A comprehensive report on these changes is to be submitted to the SEC’s central office for review. Failure to comply with these terms could result in the suspension of alcohol sales at Ole Miss sporting events.
