“In the wake of multiple fans getting arrested for throwing debris on the field during a game between Tennessee and Ole Miss, Saban was asked by reporters if the SEC can do more to protect coaches and fans.
"I don't think that's my question to really answer," Saban said. "I've said this before, we're in the entertainment business there's a lot of people that come to the games they've got a lot of passion and excitement for what they do. Hopefully as institutions and fans we'll always do that in a positive way."
"I still got a big bruise on my arm here from what happened after the Texas A&M game and I can always just look at that as a reminder of what it feels like to be in that situation and motivate myself to try and do a better job with our players," Saban continued.
Doesnt seem very consistent. 50000 people storming the field would seem like a bigger danger to players and coaches than a few empty water bottles. I am not arguing against the fine. Just be consistent.
