"The disruption of Saturday night's game is unacceptable and cannot be repeated on any SEC campus," said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. "Today's actions are consistent with the oversight assigned by the membership to the SEC office, including the financial penalty and review of alcohol availability. We will use this opportunity to reemphasize to each SEC member the importance of providing a safe environment even with the intensity of competition that occurs every week. We will also reengage our membership in further review of the alcohol availability policy to consider additional measures for the sale and management of alcohol while providing the appropriate environment for collegiate competition."
quote:
Under the sportsmanship, game management and alcohol availability policies established by the Southeastern Conference, the University of Tennessee will:
• Be assessed a financial penalty of $250,000, which will be deducted from the University's share of SEC revenue distribution.
• Be required to use all available resources, including security, stadium and television video, to identify individuals who threw objects on to the playing field or at the opposing team. All individuals identified as having been involved in disrupting the game shall be prohibited from attending Tennessee Athletics events for the remainder of the 2021-22 academic and athletic year.
• Review and update its Athletics Department game management procedures and alcohol availability policies to prevent a recurrence of Saturday night's disruption, which shall include an evaluation of agreed upon SEC Sportsmanship, Game Management and Alcohol policies to verify full compliance with existing standards.
• Following completion of this review and prior to the University of Tennessee's next home football game, the University shall provide a report to the Conference Office to summarize its efforts to identify and penalize offenders and its plan to enact policies to prevent future similar incidents while ensuring compliance with Conference standards.

I know what happened at the end of the game is a bad look, but the VOLS sitting around us were super nice and hospitable folks. So were all the VOLS we encountered this weekend, before the game, during, and after it too.

Sounds like the league will not accept, "we can't identify any individuals after reviewing the tapes." Some trashy Vols are going to be named. They should have made the ban for those individuals longer than just this school year.

financial penalty of $250,000,
Thought it would be more than this.

Punish the idiots by going after them legally and make them pay the restitution. No sense in going after all vol fans.
The financial penalties for the morons would be a deterrent against any other idiotic actions. IMO

Tennessee should just leave the conference. They don’t contribute anything we can’t find elsewhere.

I get reviewing alcohol for Tennessee but why punish everyone?? Hopefully this is just to scare everyone.

Slap on the wrist.
It costs more to storm the field in victory than it does to go nuclear on the refs.
This isnt a deterrent, it will literally be MORE LIKELY to happen in the future now with this slap on the wrist.

Basically nothing more than what ATM got for storming the field.

You forgot the part that sentences them to a thrashing this week in Tuscaloosa.

Figured they'd just add mustard bottles to the ban list.

If they can identify the individuals responsible (doubtful) they should press charges.

If every Miami fan at a game each threw 1 item you could not fill up a single garbage can.

If we lose alcohol because of Tennessee I will start a petition to have them removed from the conference.
