LSU will now be required to use all available video to find the individuals who littered the field and ban them from all LSU athletic events for the remainder of the school year, per the conference’s policies. LSU is also required to review and update its game management procedures to prevent this situation from happening again and submit a report to the SEC outlining these efforts.

“The conference is not suspending Louisiana State University’s alcohol sales privileges at this time but reserves the right to do so if other requirements set forth above are not met,” the SEC’s announcement said.
