The Big Sky Conference reprimanded and issued a $10,000 fine against Sacramento State football coach Brennan Marion for violating its sportsmanship policy. He’s publicly questioned officiating of his team’s games. “I want to make it abundantly clear that publicly questioning the integrity of our officials and the conference office will not be tolerated,” commissioner Tom Wistrcill said.
