北卡羅來納州夏洛特（theACC.com）——大西洋暫停會議今天宣布，北卡羅來納大學因在2月7日與杜克大學的男子籃球比賽結束時違反了聯盟的賽事安全保障而被罰分。
會議活動安全指南旨在為所有運動員、教練員、官員和追隨者的安全和成功提供保護。
根據 ACC 的報導，北卡羅來納州將因一次有價值的違規行為而被處以 50,000 美元的巨額罰款。
該保險範圍內的所有捐款都將直接存入Weaver-James-Corrigan-Swofford研究生獎學金基金，該基金有利於ACC運動員運動員進行研究生培訓。
杜克大學教練喬恩·謝耶表示，在北卡羅來納大學71-68事件發生後，一名成員和他的樂隊中的某個人一起發生了事件。
“For me, it’s hard to talk about the game when I was most concerned for the safety of our players,” 謝爾說道。”…I got staff members that got punched in the face, my family pushing people away trying to not get trampled and that’s not what this game is about.”
北卡羅來納大學體育部主任布巴·坎寧安在籃球教練休伯特·戴維斯之後向媒體發表演講；新聞發布會。
“I was here for coach Scheyer (press conference) and I apologized to (him) before he came in here. Rivalry games are tremendous, court stormings, he mentioned, absolutely fabulous. And it’s really tough, and I feel for our event staff. When they rushed the court, a number of people got knocked over. But then we had to clear the court again. When we normally have something like just rushing the court, and the game is over, we have a line by the benches to get people off safely,” 坎寧安說道。 “Again, I apologize to coach (Scheyer), his family and obviously if someone got injured, that’s just very disappointing. We’ll do the best we can to make sure that doesn’t happen (again), but again, my apologies to Duke for that.”
坎寧安表示，他們將進一步調查攻擊事件以及隨後發生的任何事件。
“We will (look at the video) to make sure we understand what happened. If somebody did get injured, that’s very unfortunate, and we’ll have to figure out how that happened,” 他說。
ACC重新解放後不久，UNC發表了以下聲明：
“We accept the ACC’s fine for having unauthorized people on the court before Duke and the officials could completely clear the floor on Saturday. The video we have reviewed confirms we followed our protocols to get Duke’s players and bench personnel and the game officials off the floor safely. We will continue to review our protocols to provide the highest measures of safety in the event fans rush the court. We consider this matter closed and look forward to the rest of the season.”
