How many times did you ever think a win could cost a school money especially if you beat the number one team in the nation. Well, Vanderbilt will find out today if SEC Commissioner Mike Slive will fine the University for the fans storming the court after there big win Saturday. Under a three-year rule if you storm the court on a second offense it’s a 25,000 dollar fine. Vanderbilt already was accessed a 5,000 dollar fine in 2005 for the same thing.

Now I can understand the excitement of the fans and security can be an issue with that many fans on the court at one time. Should the University be fined for the celebration. I say no and here is the reason why. People paid there money to watch the game and beating a number one team doesn’t happen to often. Security is a problem at any game and controling that many fans really is just impossible when they want on the court. I think the SEC Commissioner needs to look deeper into the problem instead of handing fines out all the time.
