New Law Used Against UF Fans
Four exuberant football fans who rushed the field after the University of Florida's upset win over Texas are facing felony trespass charges under a new law.
A Republican senator said the law was intended to punish protesters of President Donald Trump during his appearances in the state.
Lawmakers in Tallahassee said they never intended the new law to be used against fans storming football fields after a huge victory.
Ron DeSantis signed the law in May. Former UF head coach Steve Spurrier thinks such fan actions energize players and make a lifetime memory for students.
The law is being used in a way that lawmakers did not intend, sparking debate about its application.
