The ACC announced it was fining Florida State $20,000 and Pittsburgh $5,000 and issuing public reprimands to coaches Jimbo Fisher and Pat Narduzzi for violating the league's sportsmanship policy in their postgame comments about officiating after their respective games.
Fisher called a fourth-quarter penalty for blocking below the waist "cowardly, gutless and wrong" and said he welcomed a fine for criticizing ACC officials after his team lost 37-34 to Clemson on Saturday night. The Florida State sideline was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct while arguing the call.
Narduzzi, meanwhile, was incensed at the officials over pass interference calls and non-calls throughout his team's 39-36 loss to Virginia Tech on Thursday night.
