If you can't afford the fine, you can't afford to whine.

"No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!"

I think we should see what Lynn Katoa is doing these days. Just have him stand on the sidelines... with a rock in his hand... glaring at the refs.
edit: dammit, bigbuffs beat me to the Lynn Katoa reference. It was going to be uber funny, too.
From a different perspective, I wonder about the actual legality of such a fine. Generally an employer cannot actually "fine" an employee. An employee is entitled to their entire salary or hourly wage, minus statutorily allowed deductions (FICA, taxes, etc). The professional sports leagues can get away with it because it is made a condition of their collective bargaining agreement. I once had a boss that wanted to start fining the employees, and it took me about two minutes to find a Colorado statute that showed the boss that this was illegal (although I did conclude that the boss could punish the employees by reducing their pay for the next months, as long as it did not go below the minimum wage). Moreover, HCMM is a state employee, and the state cannot fine someone, ever, without providing due process of law, i.e. a hearing in front of a neutral and detached magistrate, opportunity for counsel, and various procedural guarantees. Maybe CU has a contract with the conference that allows these "fines", but CU can't give a third party the power to do what CU can't do itself.
I merely wonder. It could be that this "fine" is really a reduction in the salary for the next month, and that CU itself is fined an equivalent amount.

Send Neinas to do it? Lol. TN is doing what he did last year. Crappy start to ST's then better and better as the year went on. If they keep improving I could see him saving his job (off topic..sorry)
Larry Scott:
“It will not be tolerated,” Scott said. “The conference assigns a high priority for administrators, coaches and student-athletes to support its officiating crew. Chasing and confronting an official or officiating crew after the contest fails to meet these high standards.”
I'm beginning to get sick of Larry Scott. Hey, Larry, MAYBE YOU SHOULD ASSIGN A HIGH ****ING PRIORITY TO YOUR ****TY OFFICIATING CREWS! Asshole.

It seems like he don't give a rat's ass about officiating to me.
As bad as it still is, I strongly believe that football officiating in the Pac-12 has improved the past several years. I'm reminded of when we were in the Big 12 and the Oklahoma-Oregon game when the officials literally gave a game to Oregon with calls so bad that most poll voters said that they would treat the game like an Oklahoma win.
Pac-12 basketball officiating, on the other hand...

The NCAA does such a good job with everything else, so that seems like a good idea.
speaking of fines - If we were not busy filling seats and buying out crappy coaches, maybe we could help coach MMac - can not wait till we can rush the field and tear down some post.

I have no knowledge of how they do it but I'd expect that this is exactly how it is done. I would also guess that there is mandatory contract language for all coaches and athletic administrators that allows this to happen.
Probably also language that allows them to impose suspensions or other restrictions based on league or NCAA decisions.
If they didn't I would expect that somebody would have sued already.

Wait! They have basketball officiating in the Pac 12?????? Who knew???
Not the NCAA but the P5 conferences. They are going to be a separate entity soon with little or no ties to the NCAA anyways and they should have a single officiating structure.

1++. Exactly, the P5 is key and should be the controlling body for officials, now that play-offs are at stake.
Can't have different calls, conference by conference. Same with basketball! NCAA and conferences should be out, P5 in!
You mean after we beat UMass next year?
