How well a crew did on a game would be useful.
% calls missed
% calls made correctly
% calls made that shouldn't have been.

Make it public

I’ll give you the example of the NBA. A team from a cow town was about to make it to the NBA finals and send the NBA

Probably cheaper than NIL.

Mark it down. There will be some kind of bombshell exposé on this in a few years

I actually don't think college refs are bought and paid for by betting interests

So do we think Wisconsin is the darling of the NCAA or a massively larger brand than BYU?

Mar 24, 7:29am

No, but there are plenty of reasons a ref might use to hate BYU.

While I agree with your point re Lakers vs. Kings, it doesn't apply to BYU/UW

It’s been nearly a whole season of biased reffing there’s something there.

Not just the BYU-WIS game. Look at the MD-CSU game.

Which ref T’d up the Badger Bench?

Wisconsin fans feel the same way. At least we won.

Hope you’re not basing that on some parody reports. Haven’t heard much whining from real WISC fans.

RoboKayne

It is only a matter of time before a college ref gets caught taking a payout. The money is too great compared to what

kimdaddy35

Mar 24, 1:22am

Don’t know that specific payments or expectations even need to be communicated. They just know.

Soupie

There are good reasons why collusion is rarely explicit

I think this is exactly what he’s asking…

EastMesaCoug

People who've been around for a while "just know" what the unstated priorities are

How do you know so many cool phrases?

Sounds like a sarcastic question, but

Bobber

Mar 24, 9:05am

What you’re saying makes sense

EastMesaCoug

Mar 24, 9:13am

Like when cops look the other way when organized crime is involved (ie SEC/B1G)

Toubibe

I think they were extremely awful. No idea why, but they were.

Ozymandias

They were awful. Was it incompetence? Bias? Ego? Corruption? Something else?

Samsonite

Mar 24, 5:26am

You don’t need a conspiracy when all the actors have the same bias/objectives.

MormonThug

Mar 24, 6:02am

I am saying that 1 ref got offended, made it personal, & affected the game

Mabuhay Coug

Mar 24, 6:07am

This may be closest to the truth. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s human nature.

The NCAA is a lost puppy in the woods.

The level of arrogant naivety believing there aren't corrupt officials is sad

RockyBalboa

Mar 24, 7:20am

Referees are the cops and the town councils of sport. And we know how that goes.

seacougar

Mar 24, 8:13am

and the whining about officiating of every single game is obnoxious.

Belboz

Mar 24, 8:25am

CBB has a severe bad ref problem. The criticism is earned and deserved.

RockyBalboa

Mar 24, 10:22am

College football is bad, NFL is bad, NBA is bad, etc.

Belboz

Mar 24, 12:43pm

I've seen bad calls in NFL/CFB, but I wouldn't say officiating is poor overall.

WVU_Prof

Mar 24, 12:48pm

"bad" calls even out over the course of a game. I just ignore it or accept it.

Belboz

Mar 24, 12:50pm

I think that’s the case most of the time…

WVU_Prof

Mar 24, 7:16pm

I’m saying all of that, yes. Thanks for summarizing

Don't make it complicated. There were some bad calls. Why do we need

The more productive question: how do we more bias in favor of BYU in the future?

That's easy. Join the Big10 or SEC
