If a fan or player gets seriously hurt or killed, will schools stop people from charging on the court/field.
So players who have just been in a emotional game are expected to put up with fans in their face and pushing and shoving them. If I was in their place I would clearing a pathway to get to the locker room to get out the danger zone. In my opinion it is shelf defense. Act like you have been there before!

Larger fines and forfeits.
Reduced schollies after that.

I’d be okay seeing a lot of fans getting layed out on the floor.
Maybe in football, a player snaps and starts pummeling fans with his helmet.
I’ve always been against any fan stepping foot on the playing surface of any sport for any reason.

Electric fence. Snipers in the rafters.

Easy, if fans rush the court or field, then the win by the home school is forfeited. That will take care of the problem.

I agree it will be just a matter of time before someone is trampled to death and the university will be held liable.
I think loss of home games is a punishment that would get attention. Especially in football. Teams have to play back to back away games against their biggest rival would not only suck, would really hurt them more than a fine. Not just home game revenue, think about all that is involved, parking, concessions, tailgating.

Start taking away home games. They'll get the message then. Fans/students couldnt care less if the school gets fined.

Wait, did I miss something?
Why are we talking about rushing the court today?

A Duke Player was knocked down by Wake Forest Fans rushing the floor today. He was helped off the floor by other Duke players. He is having an MRI to find out the extent of his
injuries.

I think storming the court/field is fun, and there’s an issue caused by it maybe 1% of the time.
Lots of histrionics about this. Just line your security up in the front of the student section until the losing team can jog straight off then let them loose.

Fans didn’t play the game. Do not deserve to be on the court or field.
No point to it.

That was his fault. Tried to shove a fan and tripped over his own feet. Could only have happened to a player in the softest sport on earth.

To say it’s “just fun” and no big deal is really naive. 20-30 years ago, it might have been “fun” but now you have people bringing in guns, knives, etc with them and to me, it’s only a matter of time before a player or coach is shot, stabbed or assaulted.
There are people out there who are completely nuts and when you add alcohol to the mix, that’s not a good thing.
To me, the NCAA has to come up with something drastic to curb this. Probably the home team forfeits the win, loses some scholarships and has to pay the other school one million dollars.

Put an amount of time on the scoreboard that allows the opposing team time to exit. If fans come before then you penalize the hell out of the home team. Loss of home games, loss of post season play, vacate the W, lose fans inside the stadium/arena for an amount of time, etc.
You’ve got to protect the players/coaches but also allow the excitement and passion that comes with college sports. It obviously doesn’t happen at Bama, but it is pretty cool to see it happen at annual door mats who pull the big upset.

College sports are about passion. Let fans have their fun and express it. It sucks to lose, but it’s funny that beating Bama is so exciting for people that they rush the field.
Quit complaining about other people enjoying life.

Narcissistic reasons are rarely ever a good reason to allow something.
Fans should be in the stands where they paid to be and is equal to the amount of work they put into preparing for the game. This ‘let me storm the court because it makes me happy and feel important’ and ‘if you don’t let me have my fun you are a hater’ mentality is symptomatic of society today.

Haha. Have you seen the “security” at these games? Those people could care less about stopping anyone.
