Not fighting

Interesting follow-up - Louisville Cardinals F Montrezl Harrell ejected, will not miss next game - ESPN

The officials couldn't determine if it was a punch so they ejected him with an F2 for throwing an elbow and deferred to the ACC to decide if it was a fight. Apparently if he was ejected for fighting, it's an automatic suspension for the next game. So why can a conference increase an incident ruling (i.e. say it's a fight) but not lessen it if the officials make a mistake and the conference says it isn't a fight?

I like the officials were aware of the consequences on their ruling and decided to defer.
