East Carolina is being fined $10,000 by Conference USA because fans rushed the football field after East Carolina's upset victory over West Virginia last weekend.

The conference said Friday the school violated a policy that prohibits public access to competition areas until the visiting team and officials are in the locker rooms.

Conference USA said the university also is subject to a possible suspension of future hosting privileges. Athletic director Terry Holland said in a statement that the school will refocus on winning games.

The State Bureau of Investigation will look into reports that some police officers used excessive force on fans went onto the field, school officials said Friday.
