The game has evolved over the decades: athletes are far more athletic, bigger, stronger, faster. The schemes and execution are far more fine-tuned, meticulous.
And the implementation of technology, especially in video replays and high-definition slow-motion video technology has also evolved, giving everyone a better opportunity to see just how the execution takes place.
The officiating has sat stuck in the 1950s - and as more and more officiating calls are being shown to be flawed, the simple excuse of "human error" is looking more antiquated. First off, "human error" - while an obvious imperfection we all have to deal with in life - isn't and shouldn't be some sort of "get out of jail free" card to use to keep the game flawed, if not corrupt.
The NCAA and conferences should be stressing to raise the bar even as the sport raises it. Now there is existing technology out there that shows the officials making mistakes in key moments of games on a constant basis, and the authorities are refusing to take full advantage of it.
Why? The referee is supposed to be there to keep the games honest for both teams - if they are failing at their purpose, then why are they even an element in the equation?
The only thing left to consider, is for control of the outcomes of the games, to the pleasure of someone else other than the football teams. Totally replacing those erred humans with better-performing technology totally eliminates that control.....
If the technology is already out there, and is being widely utilized by others in a way that shows the imperfections, then it should be the authorities' responsibility of the various sports to utilize it thoroughly. The argument that the flaws and imperfections in the game are endearing, is disingenuous IMO, if those flaws come from the refereeing of the games.
Flaws from the players, from the plays, from the execution: yes, that's OK. That's the "to err is human" aspect that should be acceptable. But to simply say, "we know the officiating is wrong, and we are able to correct it, but we won't just because" is simply a form/definition of corruption, to my thinking....

It's kind of funny that fans of multiple schools have legit gripes about officiating. There are multiple videos on the internet from said schools showing blatant missed/no call all having to do with one school.
That one school doesn't have a single complaint about officiating.

Didn’t read the link. Did he, by any means, just state that the officials have quotas each game for calls favoring Alabama. Did he channel Mulvaney? “Yeah, calls favoring Alabama are made, as a matter of policy, all the time. Get over it!”

These are the times when that weak frick Sankey makes me wanna say something that the MSM would use to label me as taking the game too seriously.
Fucing Sankey is an assclown and he is the titular head of our conference.

I haven't seen one PI call in the NFL overturned. It's almost like the officials got together and said we want this to stay judgement so just go with the call on the field no matter what.
ETA: Looked it up and as of Oct 11th, 1 out of 21 PI calls have been overturned in the NFL.
But it has taken the conversation of the Refs being corrupt or incompetent off the table. That is the same battle the SEC is dealing with now.

I'll do, at least I have football, you have zero.

I've said for years (and not just football, ALL sports) that if players and coaches are obligated to be available for interviews, press conferences, etc., officials shouldn't be exempt. If they're required to answer questions and explain their calls, officiating will get better in a hurry.

I’m not sure I’d be bragging about my education with these kinds of moronic, juvenile posts. Did that education go past 8th grade, because you sound like you’re in jr. high.

You gotta love that scene you showed. Referee walking right up to Mack Wilson shoving Fromms head to the ground. Ref just goes on about his business. Its frickin hilarious, my god.
