University of #Kentucky fined $100,000 for fans coming on the field after Saturday's upset of Mississippi State. That's the price for a second offense (first was in 2014). Next time, it's $250,000. (And, I'm guessing, UK thrilled to pay it.)

I was at the game and I was on the field after the game (as a member of the credentialed media). All I witnessed were fans celebrating a huge win. At no time was anyone out of control or was anyone in danger.
