Fans were more than happy with the way the Vols vs Alabama game played out Saturday night... but now it's costing them big time!
Announced on Sunday, The SEC fined Tennessee $100,000 for a crazy, field-storming celebration after a win over Alabama. This will be the school's second violation of the access to competition area policy.
The school is now turning to fans to help pay for a new goalpost. More than $18,000 had been raised as of Sunday afternoon.
The third-ranked Volunteers knocked off No. 6 Alabama 52-49 on a last-play field goal Saturday at Neyland Stadium. It ended a 15-game losing streak to the Tide.
Fans stormed the field, ripped up one of the goalposts, and heaved it into the Tennessee River.
