Pat Haden is catching grief about his sideline antics today.......

[droner]

Some are calling for him to resign from the playoff selection committee.

I don't think I've seen a college AD arguing with the officials, especially during the game.

Should be suspended by the PAC 12

That was ridiculous.  Resign from playoff committee, maybe.  Not sure about suspension, but it sure was unprecedented.

Regardless, the only part of the team that should be allowed to talk to an official like this during the game is the Coaching staff or team captains. AD's should not. It does look bad on the selection committee for this first year. So much precedent being set by this group with all of their actions.

Cry all they want, USC was given a warning and told next sideline violation was a penalty. Sark was the guilty party and must have really said something bad to get the unsportsmanlike penalty. Haden is not allowed on the sideline during the game if all the talking heads and ex-coaches are to be believed. Haden deserves a warning by PAC-12 at a minimum and a come-to-Jesus lecture from the NCAA. Being a Rhodes scholar has nothing to do with integrity and Haden demonstrated he has little integrity trying to intimidate the PAC-12 officials by arguing with them during the game.

I don't get the calls for his resignation from the selection committee. If it's his bias that's being questioned -- well, yeah, each of the members are going to be biased towards their schools and conferences.

But I do think the Pac 12 should suspend him from attending the next game or two or three. That's completely ridiculous and uncalled for.

Well I don't know if it's an integrity issue...I mean it's just a football game for chrisake.

But he really should have known better and made a complete ass of himself.  An AD should be above something that petty.
