FIU-UM price: Two dismissals, 17 indefinite suspensions

"For us," Garcia said, "one incident is one incident too many."

Miami said it would order its suspended players to complete community service as well.

Dee added that the university's athletic department "re-emphasized" the importance of sportsmanship to coach Larry Coker and members of his staff. The brawl was the third on-field incident in Miami's past seven games; the Hurricanes also fought with LSU after losing last season's Peach Bowl and trampled Louisville's midfield Cardinals logo before playing there last month, an act viewed as taunting.

"The coaches will be held accountable for any violation of this principle," Dee said.

Coker was not available for comment Monday. He is scheduled to hold his regular weekly news conference Tuesday.

The ACC and Miami (4-2) suspended Reddick, Carlos Armour, Chris Barney, James Bryant, Tyrone Byrd, DajLeon Farr, Ryan Hill, Bruce Johnson, Charlie Jones, Brandon Meriweather, Brian Monroe, Derrick Morse and Randy Phillips.

All will miss Saturday's game at winless Duke.

"Miami has quality depth at every position," Duke coach Ted Roof said. "It's not like they're going to fall off the side of the mountain."

In addition to McDuffie and Chris Smith, the Sun Belt and FIU (0-7) suspended Michael Alls, Scott Bryant, Roland Clark, Michael Dominquez, John Ellis, Cory Fleming, Reginald Jones, Robert Mitchell, Quintin Newman, Luis Pena, Jarvis Penerton, Julian Reams, Lionell Singleton, Samuel Smith, Mannie Wellington and Chandler Williams.

They'll miss FIU's next game Oct. 28 at Alabama -- at least.

"We're going to go about business as usual," Strock said. "I've been around the game a long time. It's an embarrassing moment for me as the head coach and it's something we'll certainly rectify."

And Monday's fallout wasn't limited to on-field actions, either.

Former Miami player Lamar Thomas lost his TV analyst job with Comcast Sports SouthEast Monday over comments he made during the brawl.

CSS will also edit out Thomas' comments before replaying the game later this week.

"You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked," Thomas said during the fight. "You don't come into the OB playing that stuff. You're across the ocean over there. You're across the city. You can't come over to our place talking noise like that. You'll get your butt beat."

Said CSS general manager Mark Fuhrman: "We were disappointed in the incident that happened on the field and regret the way it was handled in the broadcast booth."

The NCAA, in a statement released Monday, called the fight "wholly unacceptable" and said it hoped the added sanctions taken by Miami and FIU shows "that such behavior is not tolerated."

Miami president Donna Shalala said in an open letter that the fight was "outrageous."

"Regardless of who started it, this was an embarrassing display of unsportsmanlike behavior," Shalala wrote. "Fortunately there were no injuries."
