Colorado coach Deion Sanders expressed his sentiment over a possible $50,000 fine for the school after fans stormed the field after the Buffaloes' 24-17 win over No. 22 Iowa State on Saturday at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado.

Sanders was initially happy with the celebrations on the field as his team surprised the Cyclones (5-2, 2-2 in Big 12) to improve to 1-3 in the Big 12 and 3-4 overall.

However, the happy moment turned into something worrisome, as he was asked about the possible fine that the school would get after the incident.

"How is it $50,000 for rushing the field? Who made that a rule?," Sanders asked. "Come on, man. That ain’t right. These kids, well, we had 50,000 (fans) there, right? Chip in!"

According to an ESPN report, the Big 12 Conference implements school punishment for fan storming after making a review on the incident. They impose a fine if the incident harmed the players, coaches and team staff.

Colorado was previously fined $50,000 and was warned after shouting negative chants toward the BYU crowd in its 24-21 loss on Sept. 27.
