The Pac-12 Conference has reprimanded and fined Southern California athletic director Pat Haden $25,000 for coming down to the field at Stanford Stadium on Saturday and confronting game officials. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement Monday that Haden's conduct was inappropriate. Scott said ''such actions by an administrator in attempt to influence the officiating, and ultimately the outcome of a contest, will not be tolerated.'' The Pac-12 also reprimanded USC coach Steve Sarkisian, who said he had requested Haden's presence on the sideline after a series of penalties left him irate at officials. Haden, who is also a member of the new College Football Playoff selection committee, jogged onto the field after getting a text message from a member of USC's staff during the Trojans' 13-10 win over Stanford.
