Virginia Will be Fined $50,000 as Fans Commit Banned ACC Act After Upsetting FSU

FSU opens ACC play with a road clash at Virginia, setting the stage for a battle between two explosive offenses. The No. 8 Seminoles (3-0) are coming off back-to-back scoring bonanzas, racking up 700 yards and 143 points, including a statement win over Alabama. On the other hand, Virginia (3-1) is riding high after a 48-20 win over Stanford, with their only setback coming against NC State. Although FSU owns the all-time series 15-4, the last matchup in 2019 ended in a 31-24 loss in Charlottesville. And now, in a dramatic double-overtime rematch, the Cavs edged the Seminoles 46-38. But despite the win, Virginia faces a heavy price due to penalties under the ACC’s compliance rules.

Before the Seminoles even left the field, Virginia fans poured onto the turf, storming the field in celebration. But that celebration didn’t sit well with the ACC. Under the conference’s new event security rules, any field storm triggers a fine, and the first offense comes with a $50,000 price tag. So, while the Cavaliers secured a huge win, they may also pay the price: $50,000 for violating the ACC’s banned act.
