University of Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne suggested forfeits might be able to deter fans from storming the playing field after big wins.
University of Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne offered a different approach for schools whose teams storm the court or field after a big upset — go after their win/loss record.
On the heels of Duke star Kyle Filipowski tweaking his ankle as Wake Forest fans stormed the court after the win over the weekend, Byrne suggested Monday that forfeits could be the way to stop the action.
«Kids aren’t going to be in the stands saying, ‘Oh, I don’t want to do this because the school is gonna get fined $200,000,’» Byrne said at the Birmingham Tip Off Club, via AL.
