LSU will be fined $100,000 for violating the Southeastern Conference’s access to competition area policy, the league announced Monday.
LSU was fined $50,000 for its first offense in 2014, when the Tigers defeated then-No. 3 Ole Miss.
Penalties were increased at the 2015 SEC Spring Meetings. Teams in violation of the policy will incur a $50,000 fine for the first offense, $100,000 for the second offense and $250,000 for a third and all subsequent offenses.
All fines go into the SEC Post-Graduate Scholarship Fund.
“While Saturday’s win was a moment for the LSU family to remember, on-field celebrations can be unsafe,” LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said in a statement. “We share the conference’s concerns for the safety of fans and the security of players and staff.”
