ACC Issues Institutional Fine and Public Reprimand for Comments by Pitt’s Narduzzi​



CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference issued a public reprimand of Pitt’s football coach Pat Narduzzi for violating the ACC Sportsmanship Policy following Pitt’s win over West Virginia on September 14. In addition, the league announced that an institutional fine has been issued to Pitt ($5,000) 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.

Narduzzi’s postgame comments, aired on ESPN regarding the officiating crew, 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.

Kiffin upset about Wake cancellation

Wake has bought out its game at Ole Miss next year.

That leaves Ole Miss with scant time to secure a replacement Power conference team. It also marks how a Wake is always going to cost the ACC. Which game would raw the most TV vIewers and by how much: Wake at Ole Miss or Wake hosting NC Central and NC A&T or even Rice as part of its master plan to secure at least 6 wins?

Does TV p[ay for viewers drawn or for wins by schools over crap that nobody will watch?
