The SEC has fined Kentucky $500,000 after Wildcats fans rushed the field following the team's win over No. 10 LSU. Kentucky secured the upset with a walk-off two-point conversion in overtime, sending supporters flooding onto the field at Kroger Field. The fine falls under the conference's field-storming policy, which penalizes schools when fans enter the playing area after games.

Why now: Kentucky's dramatic overtime upset of a top-10 LSU team triggered the field storming and the resulting conference penalty.
