Arkansas’ first SEC victory in about two years resulted in a major celebration — and a $25,000 fine.

Razorbacks fans poured onto the field on Saturday following a 17-0 victory against LSU — ending a 17-game conference losing streak — and Monday the conference announced Arkansas will be fined for a violation of the league’s “access to competition area policy.”

FINALLY: Arkansas ends its SEC skid

It is the second offense for Arkansas since the policy went into effect Dec. 1, 2004. Arkansas was also fined for a violation associated with a men’s basketball game against Florida in 2006.

“Celebration of a victory is understandable and appreciated but should be exhibited in the appropriate manner,” SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said. “We cannot forget that significant risk of injury for student-athletes and fans alike can result from incidents such as this.”

The policy states that “access to competition areas shall be limited to participating student-athletes, coaches, officials, support personnel and properly-credentialed individuals at all times. For the safety of participants and spectators alike, at no time before, during or after a contest shall spectators be permitted to enter the competition area. It is the responsibility of each member institution to implement procedures to ensure compliance with this policy.”

Institutional penalties range from $5,000 for a first offense to fines of up to $25,000 for a second offense and up to $50,000 for a third and subsequent offenses.
