On Sunday night, Pat Haden apologized for his actions on the sideline of the USC-Stanford game, but it was clear to everybody involved that the incident was not over.
On Monday morning, the Pac-12 office got involved in the matter by fining the Trojans’ athletic director $25,000 and reprimanding him for the incident.
"The conduct by USC Athletics Director Pat Haden was inappropriate," Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said in a release. "Such actions by an administrator in attempt to influence the officiating, and ultimately the outcome of a contest, will not be tolerated.
"The conduct by both Sarkisian and Haden were in clear violation of our conference’s Standards of Conduct policy. We appreciate the public apology and recognition of the errors in judgment, as well as Pat Haden’s self-imposed two-game sideline ban. We took this into consideration as we determined the discipline. Nonetheless, the actions fell short of our expectation of our head coaches and athletic directors as role models for our student-athletes and important leaders of our institutions."
