The ACC will be fining Syracuse $25,000 for violating a rule established this year that punishes players for faking injuries in an attempt to stop the game clock.
With 9:25 remaining in the fourth quarter of Syracuse's win over Clemson, the team took an injury timeout over a regular timeout for two players. The ACC said of this in their statement, "The actions by the two players—especially with the concurrent action by the coach in the team area—were a clear attempt to gain an unmerited advantage by stopping the game in order to secure an injury timeout."
