COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M was fined $100,000 after fans stormed the field following Saturday’s upset of No. 1 Alabama.
The unranked Aggies won 41-38 on a field goal as time expired.
Fans then rushed the field to celebrate, violating the Southeastern Conference’s “access to competition area policy.”
