"The University of Miami violated NCAA Football Playing Rule 1-4-12 (coaches’ phones, headsets and communication devices) and consistent with the playing rule, is being issued a public reprimand and a 20 percent reduction in communication devices for this week’s game against Georgia Tech, the conference said.
"Teams must exchange a ‘headset sheet’ and ‘team credential list’ at least 90 minutes prior to its scheduled contest. Schools are limited to 23 communication devices."
