Saturday's 42-7 loss in Oxford now carries a $250,000 price tag on top of it.
The league fined Ole Miss on Monday after debris rained down on the playing surface in Oxford in the 2nd quarter, delaying the Georgia game following a pass interference call against Jaylon Braxton. The penalty was handed down under the league's sportsmanship, game management and alcohol availability policies, with the conference saying the stoppage interrupted play for both teams and endangered the people taking part.
Alcohol sales in Oxford are not being suspended this time, but the league says it reserves the right to do that in the future. Ole Miss, with 6 wins and 3 losses, plays at Oklahoma on Saturday.
