Arkansas OK's field rushing -- after 3-minute delay

The Arkansas Razorbacks football team will now allow fans to rush the field after significant victories, but with a few caveats. The state's Athletic Commission has approved the practice, but with a mandatory three-minute delay before fans can enter the field. This delay is meant to ensure that the Razorbacks can avoid steep fines from the Southeastern Conference (SEC) for uncontrolled field rushes. The new policy aims to strike a balance between allowing fans to celebrate their team's success and maintaining order and safety on the field. The three-minute delay is expected to give security personnel enough time to prepare for the influx of fans and prevent any potential incidents or damage to the playing surface. The decision comes after the Razorbacks faced hefty fines in the past for their fans rushing the field without the required protocol in place. The new guidelines are intended to provide a controlled and enjoyable experience for fans while also ensuring compliance with SEC regulations.
