*****ACC reprimands and fines Dabo

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference issued a public reprimand of Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney for violating the ACC Sportsmanship Policy following Clemson’s game against Duke on November 1. In addition, the league announced that an institutional fine has been issued to Clemson ($10,000) as a result of the violation. The funds from the imposed institutional fine will be placed into the Weaver-James-Corrigan-Swofford Postgraduate Scholarship account. Swinney’s postgame comments regarding the officiating were in direct violation of the ACC Sportsmanship Policy that states: “Public criticism of officials or public comments evaluating the officiating of particular contests is not in the best interest of intercollegiate athletics. Individuals associated with the athletics program are prohibited, therefore, from commenting while acting in an official capacity on officiating other than directly to the Conference office.” The ACC considers this matter closed and will have no further comment.

The Clemson - Fla. State game will probably be the best ACC officiated game this season.

I’d love to hear Dabo double down on the comments and tell them to fine him again. Tell them to release a statement that they stand by the call. Dabo has F you money. So tell the ACC “F You”

Only $10k? Makes me think the ACC is saying, you’re correct but it’s protocol.

Coaches get public reprimands. Why do officials not get public reprimands Make it public knowledge how many calls they miss in a game with an after action report.

How is it unsportsmanlike to publicly disagree with a call? seems pretty unethical to fine someone based on their opinion
