Florida State women's soccer coach Mark Krikorian - after deciding to leave seven of his starters at home during the ACC Tournament last week so they could rest up for the NCAA Tournament - was suspended for one game, fined $25,000 and forced to write a letter of apology to the other coaches and players in the ACC.
When I first heard the story and the punishment, I thought it was a blatant case of the ACC merely trying to protect a revenue stream - not necessarily from women's soccer, but from its entire slate of championship tournaments.
