BLACKSBURG -- Serious mischief on the football field will cost Virginia Tech players this season where it really hurts -- in the pocketbook.

In reaction to his team's undisciplined play that led to 12 personal foul and unsportsmanlike-conduct penalties in its final two games last season, Tech coach Frank Beamer said Saturday that any player drawing a personal foul or a flagrant foul this season will forfeit $100 of the bowl-game stipend they receive for food, travel and entertainment purposes on the postseason trip.

Additionally, each player guilty of a personal or flagrant foul in a game will have to meet Beamer at 6 a.m. on the following Wednesday for auxiliary work not included on the team's regular conditioning schedule.

"We're going to get up on Wednesday morning and run with me -- I'm not going to run, they're going to run -- and it's 100 yards for every yard of the penalty," said Beamer, formally revealing his plan Saturday at Tech's Media Day.

"The bowl money [a player receives] varies, according to which bowl and how you travel and so forth. We've just got to make sure we get to a bowl now. If we don't get to a bowl, my whole thing is screwed up here," noted Beamer, whose Hokies have gone bowling 13 straight years.

"We've just got to make sure we're doing things the right way. We've won too many games around here doing it the right way, and that's the way we're going to do it."

In addition to on-field misbehavior penalties, Beamer said players also will be forced to do punishment runs for skipping or arriving late to class and missing tutoring sessions. That policy runs on a points system. Accumulate enough points and a player will lose playing time.

"Eventually, if you get enough points, you're going to miss a quarter, two quarters, three quarters," Beamer said. "Then you get to the point where you lose your [free game] tickets. Everybody gets so many tickets, so Mom and Dad might be stuck outside the stadium if you mess around on school work."

A third portion of Beamer's new, get-tough policy focuses on players not adhering to the team's game-day dress standards.

"I want everybody wearing the same stuff," he said. "I don't want individuals. Everybody has got to be the same. If you don't have the right equipment on, we're going to take part of your bowl money ... and that will increase for second and third violations."

Despite the Hokies' 11-2 record and No. 7 ranking in the final national polls, Beamer conceded that his team's undisciplined late-season play robbed much of the luster from what should have been a satisfying campaign.

"We had too many personal fouls at the end," Beamer said. "I think we played a couple of teams [Florida State in the ACC title game and Louisville in the Gator Bowl] and there was a lot of stuff going on there ... too much. And it's hard for the officials to officiate, but I wish things had gotten under control a little bit better.

"But that doesn't give us the right ... the way you win games is to play hard between the whistles and go back to the huddle and get ready to go again. I don't care what happens otherwise. We can't control that. What we can control is how we respond to it."

Junior defensive end Chris Ellis, who confessed Saturday that he was one of four players that Beamer met with in January in regards to the situation, said he's going to do his best to tone down his act this fall.

"I'm never going to go against the system, so we're going to work our best to fit under the umbrella and make sure everything runs smooth," said Ellis, who drew two of the Hokies' personal fouls in the final two games.

"Still, boys will be boys. This is definitely not tennis. It's not like any other sport. ... It's a contact sport every play."

Beamer, who has never been shy about berating officials when he feels his team has drawn the short straw on a call, said he and his coaches will tone down their sideline act, too. He said he understood how such behavior could spill over to the minds of the players.

"We're going to make sure that we let the officials officiate and that's going to be it," he said. "If we're challenging the officials or asking them in the wrong way, then the players probably think they can challenge it.

"We just need to play football. We need to coach hard, play football, and let those officials officiate. And that's what we're going to do."
