SEC Director of Officiating John McDaid said this: "Unsportsmanlike conduct needs to fit 1 of 3 categories: Is it taunting an opponent? Is it making a travesty of the game? Is it otherwise compromising our ability to manage the game? There’s a difference b/w a player giving a signal directly in face of an opponent, as opposed to doing it with teammates celebrating after a TD or on the sideline. To net all that out, every single occurrence is not an act of unsportsmanlike conduct.”
In other words, unless you get in a guy's face and do it, it's not a penalty. He then proceeded to say that he did not think horns down is an offensive gesture and proceeded to do it himself.
Welcome to the SEC.
