Why not enforce a 15 yard penalty dead ball at the game too? SEC trying to save face

Translated. You don’t run this conference. You’ll tell us who did this and discipline them or we will fine you until you do.

Sucks to be a douchebag Texas fan I guess. No more games for you.

In the moment I’m sure they would have gladly paid $250k to get that PI call reversed

Will there be a student section after that?

It looked like it was only students doing it.

I don’t think the monetary fine will have as much impact as will the banning of those found to have engaged in the behavior from any additional athletic events—not just football games—for the remainder of the academic year.

It’s the holding fans accountable part that has teeth. They have to video review and kick fans out of the game. And prove they did so in an audit.

It'll just open up a bunch of tickets for other students to request during game week.

I'd easily pay $250K to go back in time and reverse the Tyler Simmons offsides call.

Yes. But it sends a message. You don’t run this league. Don’t act classless or we won’t let you be here.

That’s the message.

I'm not arguing with it. All the students that threw shite on the field should forfeit their Big Ticket.

The students won’t listen. They honestly won’t even care

Possibly.
In which case any sanctions would likely be increased.
I personally think the university will step in.
No way do they condone what happened.

I'd be fine with this if they included at the end "also, we fired the refs".

Ban student ticket entries for a game. Punish the people that did it. They don't give a mother frick about the university being fined.

I’d bet anything related to the officiating will be released in a separate statement.
