Georgia Tech will be fined for its fans coming onto the playing surface Saturday after the Yellow Jackets beat No. 12 Clemson 24-21.
Aidan Birr made a 55-yard field goal to give Tech the victory. After Birr’s kick cleared the goal posts, Tech students and fans rushed the field to create a memorable scene at Bobby Dodd Stadium. But per ACC rules, the celebration will cost the school.
The ACC announced in September an event security policy that fines member institutions $50,000. A second offense this season by Tech would result in a $100,000 fine.
All fines collected go into a postgraduate scholarship fund that helps ACC athletes pursuing graduate school.
Tech fans also rushed the field during the 2024 season when the Jackets beat Miami at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
