SEC levies $500,000 fine on Vanderbilt for court-storming vs. No. 9 Kentucky
- Vanderbilt enjoyed another upset over a ranked SEC opponent on Saturday, taking down No. 9 Kentucky. A great win for the program in Year 1 of Mark Byington, the Commodores will be paying the price for some postgame celebrations.
The Southeastern Conference (SEC) has imposed a $250,000 fine on Vanderbilt University following a court-storming incident after their basketball team's upset victory over No. 9 Kentucky on February 25, 2023. This fine is part of the SEC's escalating penalty structure for such events, marking the first time Vanderbilt has been fined for this issue. The fine will be donated to the SEC Post-Graduate Scholarship Fund. The incident involved fans rushing onto the court, which poses safety risks and disrupts the orderly conclusion of games. Vanderbilt's athletic director, Candice Lee, expressed disappointment over the event, emphasizing the university's commitment to safety and the need to prevent future occurrences. This fine adds to the ongoing debate about court-storming in college sports, highlighting the balance between fan enthusiasm and maintaining order and safety.
