Big Brain Thinking From Alabama's AD On How To 'Fix' Court/Field Storming - The Home Team Forfeits The Game If It Happens

You know what? This is so asinine, I sort of want to see it happen. Imagine the outrage of a major upset getting ruled to the big, bad bully of the conference because some fans got a little jazzed up and stormed the court? How would you even police this? I'd go to every single Kentucky basketball road game with opposing gear on and storm the court to guarantee a win. All it takes is a few dozen fans to pony up and this could work. 

I've been a part of storming the field. 2007 when Kentucky beat No. 1 LSU in football. It was awesome. It was awesome because I was a college kid and it's just part of what makes college sports different than anything else. You're not getting Chiefs fans storming Arrowhead when they won the AFC title game, or fill in whatever you want here in a pro standpoint. But that one moment when Andre Woodson found Stevie Johnson, it was game on. 

To me it's simple. Keep the lights on when people storm, get your security in the right spot and get the opposing team out of there as fast as possible. If it's a blowout or multi-possession game, let them get out of there with a few seconds to go. No one gives a shit about the handshake. You see teams do this all the time, they call timeout with 5 seconds to go or so, pull everyone off the bench and then get out of there. Or you go Jon Scheyer route and turn into a left tackle 

Can't blame him. Who could forget when Kyle Filipowski was basically declared dead at Wake Forest last year? Sure, he was fine and played the next game and it was blown up to a bigger deal than anything. I just love when we go to the most extreme thought process. There are a million real problems with college sports, but nope, let's get some forfeits going in big games. We joked about how the world would lose its mind if a college football playoff game was decided by the dumbass 2-point shootout, imagine a loss happening over a field storm.
