Byrne said there is a way to stop it completely.
“I think from a security point of view to keep people away from the fields and the courts are a good thing for everyone involved,” he told ESPN. “If we said that the homeland, if they storm the field or court, they will lose the game right then and there, it will stop it.”
Byrne said he is in order with the criticism he opens up and is willing to listen to better ideas.
Right now, some conferences are fine schools about the festivities. SEC has a fine structure to storm the court and field. A school is fined $ 100,000 for the first incident, $ 250,000 for the second and $ 500,000 for the third.

“I think it’s a tough suggestion,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey told ESPN about Byrne’s proposal. “I think, though, that there’s more than Greg in this league that feels it that way.”
