COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The Southeastern Conference fined South Carolina $100,000 for its fans storming the court after the top-ranked Gamecocks' 79-62 win over No. 6 Kentucky.
The league announced the fine Wednesday, a day after South Carolina posted a win over its highest ranked opponent at home in 14 years.
The SEC adopted more stringent fines at its meetings last spring. A first offense brings a fine of $100,000, a second $250,000 with subsequent offenses costing $500,000.
The league gave all members a clean slate so this counts as South Carolina's first offense.
