See the link below. From the article:
”Ole Miss will be fined $75,000 after fans threw debris onto the field in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 55-49 win against LSU, the SEC announced Wednesday.
The penalty comes in addition to the $100,000 fine levied against Ole Miss by the conference for fans storming the field after the upset victory.
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey on Wednesday also set additional requirements that must be met by the school, including using all available resources and video evidence to determine who threw the debris. Anyone identified as having been involved will be prohibited from attending Ole Miss athletic events for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.”
And,
”The SEC is also requiring Ole Miss to review and update its game management procedures and alcohol policies to make sure a similar incident doesn't happen in the future. The conference said it is not suspending alcohol sales privileges for Mississippi at this time "but reserves the right to do so if other requirements outlined above are not met."
According to the SEC, the penalties and requirements levied against Ole Miss are consistent with the commissioner's rules related to the availability of alcohol sales, which state "if cans or plastic bottles are used as projectiles or otherwise cause game management issues, the institution is subject to an immediate fine and suspension of the alcohol sales privilege."”

A fine for storming the field? I’ve never heard of that.
Notice that no coffee cups were thrown. The latte-and-scone crowd is better than that.
