SEC fines Ole Miss for court-storming after Tennessee win

Ole Miss Athletics has been fined $500,000 by the SEC after fans stormed the court following the Rebels’ 78-76 win over No. 4 Tennessee in Oxford on Wednesday.

The money will go directly to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville’s athletic department, according to The Athletic.

“We are being levied a $500,000 fine to bring our department’s total to $850,000 for the season,” Vice Chancellor of Intercollegiate Athletics Keith Carter wrote on X. “With potential future fines coming continuing at a similar level, it is imperative that we take immediate action to end this behavior.
