Irving, Texas — Conference USA announced Friday that East Carolina University will be fined $10,000 and subject to a possible suspension of future hosting privileges for a violation of one of the league's sportsmanship policies which prohibits public access to competition areas.
The fine stems from East Carolina's postgame celebration, which occurred Saturday, when fans stormed the field of Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium following the Pirates' 24-3 victory over No. 8 West Virginia.
