If there are some other court-storming episodes at South Carolina, the fines will grow to be extra expensive. A second offense will value the college $250,000, and any subsequent violations can be $500,000 every.
It’s only a small worth for the college to pay with its males’s basketball program on the ascent as soon as once more.
