SEC fines Meyer $30,000

Florida coach Urban Meyer has been fined $30,000 by the Southeastern Conference for public comments about a call he said officials missed during last week's game against Georgia, the conference announced Friday.
It's the first time the SEC has fined a coach under bylaws the conference toughened late last month, following a spate of public comments by SEC coaches questioning calls and criticizing officials.
"Coach Meyer has violated the Southeastern Conference code of ethics," commissioner Mike Slive said. "SEC bylaw 10.5.4 clearly states that the coaches, players and support personnel shall refrain from public criticism of officials. The league's athletics directors and presidents and chancellors have made it clear that negative public comments on officiating are not acceptable."
Meyer, in a statement, said he respected the decision and apologized.

I don't like it at all. They aren't allowed to voice their opinions what-so-ever. If they don't what the officials criticized, then they had better put their officials through the ringer so they don't make anymore boneheaded calls.

All their doin is giving the refs more excuse to screw up, cause the refs know the coaches will not say anything.
