On Sunday, the ACC issued a public reprimand of Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney for violating the ACC Sportsmanship Policy following the Tigers’ 46-45 loss to Duke on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
Additionally, the league announced that an institutional fine of $10,000 has been issued to Clemson as a result of the violation.
Per the ACC press release, 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.
