This is one fine Butler won't be too upset about.
The Bulldogs were fined $5,000 by the Big East for storming the court Wednesday after beating Villanova, according to Andy Katz of ESPN. Butler will donate the money to the Be the Match charity.
It's a small price to pay for taking down the No. 1 team in the country, but the Bulldogs anticipated, and tried to stop, such an infraction.
