FAYETTEVILLE — It wasn’t all bad news for Tennessee on Saturday.
Sure, the No. 4 Volunteers lost their bid for an undefeated season by blowing a two-score lead and falling to Arkansas 19-14 as two-touchdown favorites despite coming off an open date.
At least they’ll be heading back to Knoxville with an extra $250,000 in their pocket.
That is what the Razorbacks will be fined by the SEC for their fans rushing the field following the upset – and, for the first time in UA history, that money will go straight to the Tennessee athletic department.
