I really think it will make a difference. That's five times more than previously.

100k wasn't really that much and obviously was not a deterrent...

Students don't care and this won't hurt the universities enough. Forfeits are the only thing that will hurt enough.

Will it make a difference? Maybe not, but they get more money and that's all that matters

Randomly arrest a few of the invaders and give them a lifetime ban from the stadium and a big fine.

 

[Cruloc]

Drunk fans and students won't be thinking about the potential fine. In the excitement of their little moment, they'll rush the field anyway.

Bama winning all their games will stop 90% of it. Just saying.
