End of Conference Affiliated Refs will happen soon Rick Neuheisel says

Where is your revenue growth? You’d already have the entire market, I can’t think of any add on revenue that wouldn’t compromise the independence of your refs … it’s just not a real business. It’s more like a not-for-profit. Not seeing it.

 

Then the conferences would just hire HS refs.

 

Waste of time.

 

Try apathy towards college football overall. I'm finding it to be an effective and inexpensive remedy to all that NCAA football has become.

 

And they screw up royally too

 

Maybe just stop being a whiner? Rarely does officiating decide games, and if you're complaining about officiating when you're down 14 to Vanderbilt, Kentucky or some other bottom dweller maybe look at why you're even in the position you are.

Officiating is never perfectly fair. Like weather. Or injuries. That's life. OP needs to head back to GHFC and complain about imaginary charging fouls with the other 45+ "basketball players" reliving their non existent glory days.

 

Yeah, that's fair. I seem to teeter between apathy and despair

That's a fair criticism. I find it intellectually amusing how I've come to teetering between apathy and outrage.

 

LOL. ACC officials “protecting” Miami by allowing this Va Tech field goal when a penalty should have been called. Two players wearing #17.

 

Must be a deep fake. That has only happened to UF.

 

They already got pinched for it in their game against Vanderbilt leading to a Vandy FG.

 

What if the conferences pay the refs like now but they don't do that conference's games. Like the SEC pays for refs but they do only Big 12 games. The ACC pays for refs and they do Big 10 games and so on.

 

Was it the ref or the ACC HQ that actually made the decision on the last play? If it was the ref why did HQ get involved at all? Certainly HQ has better available technology than a monitor under a hood, but if anyone had a conflict of interest it was ACC brass much more than the ref.

 

Reviewed plays are a collaborative effort between the replay official at the game and the conference's gameday operations center.

 

Yes, NFL made this change years ago.
