Student at some small school in Minnessota died when students stormed the field in celebration of their double OT win over Crown College.

It was the last game in the stadim and only 1000 people were in attendance, but apparently this was a big game for them.

So, Should all colleges ban rushing the field or the court in celebration? Or is that an inherent part of college sports?

Although tragic I dont think it should be banned. If its eventually then it'd understandable. I feel for his family, its a horrible loss but sadly such things are part of life. I guess the argument could be made that its not a necissity for them to storm the field. Thats true I guess.

Maybe bringing down the post should be a no no. Or maybe implement a locking mechanism on the posts. Make them collapse during the game but lock them in place afterwards...? :hmm:
