WAC Reprimands McMakin

From the WAC its ownself...

"The Western Athletic Conference has reprimanded University of Hawai‘i head football coach Greg McMackin for comments he made last week during the WAC's annual football media preview in Salt Lake City. His comments included a gay slur that he used while discussing the University of Notre Dame football team.

In addition to the reprimand, McMackin has been warned that any further violations of the WAC Sportsmanship Code will result in an automatic one-game suspension, at the minimum.

"I greatly appreciate the quick and decisive actions by UH Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw and Athletics Director Jim Donovan as it has made my job in processing this very unfortunate situation much easier," WAC Commissioner Karl Benson said. "Coach McMackin's comments were clearly offensive, violated the WAC Code, and are not condoned by either Hawai‘i or the WAC."
