Auburn University has been fined $250,000 because its fans rushed Pat Dye Field at Jordan-Hare Stadium immediately following the Tigers’ 48-45 Iron Bowl victory on Saturday.

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) announced the fine on Monday. This is Auburn’s fourth violation of a conference policy prohibiting fans from accessing the field of play “for the safety of participants and spectators alike.”

The SEC policy imposes a $50,000 fine for the first offense, up to $100,000 for the second offense and up to $250,000 for the third and subsequent offenses.

Per the conference, the fine money is deposited into the SEC Post-Graduate Scholarship Fund.

Auburn was previously fined for storming the field after the 2013 and 2017 Iron Bowls, as well as the basketball court at Auburn Arena after upsetting Kentucky in 2016.
