The SEC isn't a fan of 'post-game spectator incursion” — AKA storming the field/court — and is forming a task force to look at the problem.
to “address post-game spectator incursion” — AKA storming the field/court — after a number of high-profile incidents in recent weeks.
The new working group, made up of “athletics directors, event management directors and campus security personnel” from across the SEC, will study the issue and any policy changes that might be made. Such recommendations will be introduced at the 2023 SEC Spring Meetings, with implementation likely for the 2023-24 athletic year.
Though field/court storming happens several times a year in the SEC, it seems the spark that led to calls for change occurred in the aftermath of Tennessee’s 52-49 victory over Alabama in Knoxville on Oct. 15. Thousands of fans rushed the field at Neyland Stadium to celebrate, resulting in at least one physical altercation between Alabama wide receiver Jermaine Burton and a female Volunteers fan.that he and many of his players — including Burton — felt unsafe while trying to exit the field.
The SEC Working Group on Event Security include athletics directors Greg Byrne of Alabama, Mitch Barnhart of Kentucky and Josh Brooks of Georgia, among others. Kelvin King, head of campus security at Auburn, is also a member of the group.
