re: Let’s Talk Officiating

Outside of money, is there a reason conferences couldn't make officiating a full time job? These TV deals are in the billions of dollars now...you would think they could deploy a very small amount of that to employing officials. It's crazy to think a sport that commands so much revenue leaves game-changing decisions in the hands of part time workers

They are going to need to do something because of betting. What happened last night in UGA-GT affected the spread in a major way. I don’t think the refs were doing it because of that. I think they were doing it to help ACC look better especially after Louisville’s loss. However, these conferences are going to find themselves across the table from a federal lawyers with the betting implications.
