Why court storming can have a negative impact

Not a Duke sympathizer in any way, but this is unacceptable. The ACC, if it has any balls, needs to bring the sledgehammer down. Forfeit the victory for Wake Forest and a stiff fine. Only by making harsh examples of these situations is the only way it’s going to stop - short of removing the crowds altogether. This is their chance to start putting a stop to this.
This victory was Wake’s meal ticket to the NCAA’s. Take it away. Start teaching the harsh lesson that this will no longer be tolerated. And, yes, I would still be saying this even if we weren’t a bubble team ourselves.

You are not overturning an on court result due to this but monetary punishment will happen
That will do absolutely nothing whatsoever to deter it from happening again, and you know it’s true, which is why I even suggested overturning the game result.
Why is he just lazily walking off the court when the game is all but over (the rest of his team is near the bench), knowing full well the fans are about to storm?
Of course, Duke is going to get all the benefit of the doubt from the media and Scheyer will go whining to the press afterwards. You'll also probably hear something from Phony K this coming week as well.

Yes it’s his fault for not sprinting into the crowd to get off the court. People wouldn’t get mugged if they could just out run the mugger.
It's absolutely his fault. He also sent that one fan down in a heap by tripping him.
The institution that has been impacted here should be of no relevance. It is a matter of student athletes from both sides be able to have a safe atmosphere.
Wake gonna get sued. And if the injury affects his draft status, that settlement is going to rightfully be a huge one.
Yeah, I'm sure some scummy ambulance chaser will be turning this into a multi-million dollar suit.
It's a sprained ankle, relax.
It’s the NCAA. Your post in theoretical.
Coaches used to treach how to handle this. Not sure they do as I notice teams just hanging around.
Ambulance chasers as individuals often suck. But as a group they play a huge role in making sure that your kids toys don’t kill them.
Disagree. We are worse off as a society because of the influence of lawyers, lobbyists, and their ilk. It's why people's first reaction is "lawsuit!," as yours was. I believe in personal responsibility.
No actually that is not the case here. The member conf in this matter the acc determines punishment for the offending institution
Cats n jokes so soft! I rushed court frosh year after Hall beat St Johns to win BE outright. Cats so lost. But let’s bow down to soft America
There were actually a few tenths left on the clock when the court storming started. The game was not officially over.
Hence why I said all but over. Instead he lingered out there almost like he was intentionally inviting it.
I hate Duke as much as if not more than any team in any sport but I don’t want to see any player get hurt. That being said you can’t hold WF players responsible for this. I don’t know the answer other than no court storming. When teams prevent it I’ve heard plenty of people complain about that too.
Not only that—why is he out there with 1.4 seconds left and down 4? I would not keep him out there if I were Scheyer for that exact reason especially with the fans ramping up to run out.
it’s just getting ridiculous now to see a court storm every night. The participation trophy era of children are in college and apparently it’s translated to courtstorming.
No problem with a court storm if the team is ranked in the top 3. Outside of that. Nope

Caitlin Clark was doing just that in running off and got blindsided by a fan. Something is going to have to be done besides a monetary penalty to teams
Please go away. No one is forfeiting a victory.
someone, somewhere give this Cat a glass of water and put em in an Uber.
I’ll state my opinion as I see fit, and I’ll continue to post here. Perhaps you should consider a break.
I get that. it’s a big win..
But the teams ranking 4-10 all have 5 or more losses… it’s not that big of a deal to be one of the other 5 teams to beat them.. it’s different than UConn going down as the topped ranked team who went almost 2 months without a loss

In your opinion. Thanks, I already got that.
It won’t seem so ridiculous if the Duke player’s draft stock is negatively impacted because of an injury and decides to sue Wake, who clearly had no game plan for if they won. It will all be on them. They got caught with their pants down and they going to pay, one way or another. Forfeiting a game won’t be so over the top in comparison to the payout settlement of eight or nine figures.
I would try to identify the student who ran into him and bring assault charges against him.
I watched a bunch of videos from different angles and to me it looked the Duke player extended his leg to trip the fan and their knees collided. If he attempted to avoid the fans then I don't think he would have been injured.
Secondly, what are the rules with fans running onto the court with time still on the clock. With 1 second on the clock there were fans clearly on the court heads down running full speed.

Kyle Filipowski, Caitlin Clark colliding with fans show conferences must do more to deter court-storming
Policies to punish school's vary, but the ACC is the only Big Six conference which doesn't issue fines for court-storming

Duke's Kyle Filipowski says Wake Forest fans tried to hurt him in court-storm, but who initiated contact?

I despise Duke as much as anyone but blaming this player for this is either sheer idiocy or blindness by Duke hate.
Court storming is dangerous and should be banned, with heavy fines for schools who allow it.
I figured it wouldn't be too long before you chimed in with that exact opinion. We fundamentally disagree. It's part of the college basketball experience.
