"The call of a touchdown is under review." (ring ring)

[Zebra Frog]

There has been talk in recent years of having a national “pool” of officials that work games and doing away with conference affiliations. In other words a crew might work in the B12 one week, the SEC the next, the ACC the next, etc.
I’m in favor of it, but it would be an administrative headache and the conference supervisors are totally against it. BUT, it could be done. Maybe, through social media, public support, and media pressure (articles in The Athletic, ESPN, Press Box DFW, and even Muck, it could get it stated again.

There was no angle that showed definitively his foot out.... So was there another angle that wasn't shown on the Tron/TV … think not

So it makes a difference whether it's the head official on the field or the B12 official on the line or both jointly.... that makes the final decision based on video.

I think you replied to the wrong post. I was referring to the Hunt catch. If they wanted BU to win, then they would have ruled against us right there and there never would have been a Duggan tightrope along the sidelines.

They made the wrong call on the Duggan play, but there’s no proof it was out of malice. They already had the perfect opportunity to give the game to Baylor with the Hunt catch, but didn’t.

Like that would put an end to tin foil hat conspiracy theories.

Once they had to review the Hunt catch they really had no choice. So very clear. The only thing that they could have done is ignored the rule.

I think this is naive. College football is a business to make money.

Exactly. We found that out in 2014.

Not normally a conspiracy theorist, but damn. And you can't tell me not ONE ref on the field at the Tech/BU game didn't know that wasn't a legitimate fumble and should have argued that.

and the no PI on the two point conversion in Norman.

Don't scheissin bring that up. Still can't believe it
