Florida coach Urban Meyer has been fined $30,000 by the Southeastern Conference for criticizing officials.

Florida coach Urban Meyer says Southeastern Conference officials missed a late hit against quarterback Tim Tebow in Saturday’s game against Georgia.

The national coordinator of college officials says he generally disapproves of officials being disciplined publicly, but understands why the SEC and Pac-10 recently announced suspensions after high-profile mistakes were made.

Florida coach Urban Meyer says the Southeastern Conference did the right thing in suspending an officiating crew after its second controversial call of the year.

Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive says there is no reason to have a “public hanging” when game officials make bad calls.

The South Carolina football team returned to the practice field on Tuesday
afternoon for the first time since last Saturday’s game vs.  LSU.
