So if someone is seriously injured was it worth it?

Do we have examples of people getting hurt rushing the field? It’s not like The Who concert where people get trampled. It’s a couple thousand people, mostly students, enjoying a very exciting and important moment in their college career. I work in the insurance industry, I understand risk. I just don’t see the punishment suiting the crime. There are a lot of stupid stuff college kids do, this is not one of them.

I'm more of a "storm the court" guy than not, but I've also been in the middle when it happens on multiple occasions and if you aren't incredibly aware of your surroundings it is very easy to get swallowed up in the chaos. I've seen media, team support staff and fans get caught up in the insanity and it isn't pretty. The SEC having moderate level fines for it are 100% understandable and what should happen in a league cashing 40 million dollar checks on TV revenue alone...

It just takes one incident in this day and age for a law suit. UK will eat the 100k that deters soms from rushing vs. dealing with a million dollar settlement.
