Veteran SEC official Ken Williamson has been permanently suspended from officiating conference games, sources tell Yellowhammer News.
The decision to remove the longtime referee comes in the immediate wake of an SEC review of eleven complaints against Williamson and his crew during the Auburn-Georgia game earlier this month. According to sources, nine of those

Wow the REC couldn't just sweep this one under the rug

That guy has been around forever.

Hugh Freeze is safe and Auburn can put an asterisk by the game in their record book
Also, journalism is dead. Permanent suspension is just getting fired. Indefinite suspension is what I'm going to assume they were looking for

The time out/clapping nonsense should’ve been enough to suspend the crew.
They were obviously intimidated by Kirby.

Took a TD for UGA off the board.

“According to sources”
I hope it’s true, but do we have any confirmation that they’ve been suspended?

Ken Williamson is the same ref that gave AU the extra 3 seconds at the end of the 1st half of the Iron Bowl in 2019 that made the difference in the game. Why would the REC go against Bama?

This off season there should be a purge of SEC Refs. It's long overdue. They've made too many mistakes over the past few years especially.
It should start from the top down.
We're a wealthy conference. Go out and find the best Refs. The conference will benefit .... it'll bring more integrity to the game.
Cherry pick the NFL if necessary. Find the best Refs and form the best bunch of crews in CFB.
We're a joke as it is now. Other conferences make light of how bad our Refs are.
Skanky is part of the problem.

First of many reforms that need to be made. Need some serious upgrading of the training because the ref's have started inserting themselves into games and influencing outcomes.
A&M had a TD called back Saturday on a ghost holding call.
All of this on Stankey and we are at a point that if he doesn't start doing his job, I expect he will be run off. And the solution is not to throw a flag on every other play as they have already done in some games.

UGA didn't score on the drive. Primarily because they produced a hell of a makeup call negating a 30 plus yard UGA gain to inside the AU 5 by calling a legal block by RB Cash Jones an illegal blindside block.

Article says 9 of 11 complaints were validated by SEC officials. Anybody have the full list?

SEC officiating went to shite the second Penn Wagers retired.
Posted on 10/22/25 at 2:36 pm to the808bass
Nah, they are clapping and should have been a penalty.
Posted on 10/22/25 at 2:36 pm to Croot
I think there are a lot of makeup calls going on to try to eliminate the attention on the really terrible calls.

Things only a Bama fan would say for $100, Alex.

is that the same crew that cost Auburn the game in Norman?

The SEC needs a serious accountability review in the officiating department.
Also the reviews should be made public like the ACC does.
