GAINESVILLE, Florida - Florida coach Urban Meyer has beenfined $30,000 by the Southeastern Conference for criticizing
officials.
Commissioner Mike Slive announced the fine Friday, two days
after Meyer said referees missed a late hit against quarterback Tim
Tebow in No. 1 Florida's 41-17 win against Georgia.
The fine is the first since the SEC changed its policy about
coaches publicly criticizing officials. The conference has done
away with reprimands and made the punishment either a fine or a
suspension.
Meyer issued a statement of apology following the fine.
