The Southeastern Conference has fined Vanderbilt and Arkansas after their fans stormed the field following upset wins on Saturday. Arkansas was fined $250,000 after its 19-14 win over then-No. 4 Tennessee because it is a second offense. Future offenses will cost the school $500,000. Vanderbilt, a first-time offender, was fined $100,000 after its 40-35 win over then-No. 1 Alabama. Fans tore down a goalpost and dumped it in the Cumberland River. Members of the metro Nashville fire department retrieved it to keep it from being a hazard, and Vanderbilt took advantage by setting up an auction to sell pieces of it.
