The Western Athletic Conference will announce Monday what action it will take in the case of University of Hawai'i football coach Greg McMackin.

WAC commissioner Karl Benson declined to say which way he was leaning but said violations of the conference’s sportsmanship code can entail “private reprimand, public reprimand or game suspension.”

Benson was in the room at the annual WAC Football Media Preview Thursday when McMackin made and repeated a term offensive to gays.
Because the incident occurred at a WAC event it “comes under the umbrella of the WAC” as well as UH, Benson said.
Benson said, “I appreciate (Manoa) chancellor Virginia Hinshaw and athletic director Jim Donovan’s quick and decisive action and I’m confident that will make my decision easier.”
UH announced Friday that McMackin will forfeit 30 days pay, have his annual salary reduced by seven percent and work with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community on campus.
