SEC Levies Fines Against Vanderbilt & Arkansas For Storming Field Following Top Home Wins

Vandy fans are making their way through police and marching down Broadway with the goalposts
What a sport

The SEC levied a $100,000 fine against Vanderbilt and a $250,000 fine against Arkansas for field storming after they beat #1 Alabama and #4 Tennessee, respectively.

The SEC has a policy against storming the field in which the first offense is a $100k fine, the second offense is a $250k fine, and a third offense is a $500k fine. Since the policy was started, Arkansas has now been fined twice under the policy, while this is Vanderbilt’s first offense.

The purpose of the policy is to protect fans and athletes alike, as injuries are possible when the two groups interact.

In the Vanderbilt field storming, fans tore down the goalposts and managed to get them down Broadway Street in Nashville, and into the Cumberland River. Apparently, the Nashville Fire Department had to retrieve the goalpost from the river.

Following the win over #4 Tennessee, Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman joked about the field storming, saying “I think the AD is going to be mad. Or maybe he won’t be, I don’t know. Right now, I don’t care. Go Hogs, go Hogs, baby.”

Consensus 4-star RB Ousmane Kromah committed to Georgia this weekend over offers from Florida State, Tennessee, Auburn, and others.

Kromah stated that the greatness of Georgia is what led him there. Further, Kromah is looking to get coached by coaches who will push him to be the best, which he believes he will get from Coach Kirby Smart and the rest of the Bulldogs staff.

Kromah ranks as high as 75th nationally (Rivals) and 4th for his position (On3). According to the On3 industry composite, Kromah ranks 113th nationally and 5th at his position.

Kromah is Georgia’s 18th Blue Chip commitment and 22nd commitment overall for the 2025 class which currently ranks 5th nationally and 4th in the SEC.

Consensus 4-star CB Dawayne Galloway decommitted from Purdue over the weekend after originally committing back in July over offers from Kentucky, West Virginia, Syracuse, and others.

He kept his tweet announcing his decision brief thanking the staff and letting every other program know that he was open to being recruited.

Galloway ranks as high as 140th nationally and 16th at his position (On3). The On3 industry composite ranks him 168th nationally and 21st at his position.

Purdue is now down to 12 commitments – all 3-stars – in a 2025 class which ranks 66th nationally and 18th out of 18 in the Big Ten.
