Vanderbilt University has racked up nearly $1 million in Southeastern Conference fines for rushing football fields and basketball courts this academic year, despite trying to curtail the temptation, but Alabama athletic director Greg Bryne said a steeper penalty could be imposed against schools to end rushing the field of play once and for all.

"I truly believe it — if we said that the home team, if they storm the field or the court, they're going to lose that game right then and there, that will stop it," Byrne said, as reported by Athlon Sports. "I don't think from a financial penalty standpoint you can really put anything into place that would curtail it. I think it has to be other steps, other actions."
