Got Cowbell?

This year, MississiPPi state should have less.  Thank the Lord!

According to The Jackson Clarion-Ledger, the SEC has decided the first offense will cost the school $5,000, the second offense is a $25,000 penalty, and the third offense is worth $50,000.

Cowbells can be used before a game, at halftime, during timeouts and after scores. Using the cowbell during the game action — which Mississippi State fans have done for years as a school symbol – would constitute a penalty.

The fines will be per game in which a violation or violations occur, not per violation. The SEC has capped the fine structure at $50,000, and the first-offense fine will be reduced to $5,000 if Mississippi State goes three years without a violation.
