The Western Athletic Conference said this morning that it has reprimanded University of Hawaii head football coach Greg McMackin for comments he made last week during the WAC's annual football media preview in Salt Lake City.

McMackin’s comments included a gay slur that he used while discussing the University of Notre Dame football team.
In addition to the reprimand, McMackin has been warned that any further violations of the WAC Sportsmanship Code will result in an automatic one-game suspension, at the minimum, the WAC said on its Web site.
"I greatly appreciate the quick and decisive actions by UH Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw and Athletics Director Jim Donovan as it has made my job in processing this very unfortunate situation much easier," WAC Commissioner Karl Benson said in a statement. "Coach McMackin's comments were clearly offensive, violated the WAC Code, and are not condoned by either Hawaii or the WAC."
The university last week suspended McMackin for 30 days without pay.
McMackin also volunteered to take an additional 7 percent pay cut from his $1.1 million salary.
