  "account": "On Saturday, Central Florida (UCF) secured a 39-31 victory over No. 3 Brigham Young University (BYU) in a thrilling double overtime game at the Acrisure Bounce House. This marked the Knights' first top-five-ranked win in program history. After the game, UCF fans stormed the field in celebration, an action that will likely result in a fine from the Big 12 Conference due to their field storming policy. The league's standard fine for such incidents is $50,000, but it will be determined on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as the safety of the visiting team and game officials. This marks the second notable field storming incident in the Big 12 on Saturday, the first being at Cincinnati following the Bearcats' win over Texas Tech.",
  "summary": "UCF picked up the program's first top-five-ranked win on Saturday by knocking off No. 2 BYU, and fans rushed the field. Here's what the Knights will be fined.",
