NCAA Launches Officiating Reform Initiative

This is not a drill.

But, lets face it, this will take time. Demand is MUCH greater than supply.

I'm in my 60s. A bit overweight. Bad knee on one leg and bad hip on the other. I enjoy having a few cocktails while I browse which games to place a wager on. I have glasses but forget to put them on more often than not. Where do I sign up?

You could be the lead official for the Big Ten Women’s games! Gotta be better than what was there last year.

It's such a relief to know the matter is in good hands.

That "plan" sounded like a big group hug by the NCAA. Then back to business as usual. Providing up to $10,000 to conferences? Is that a misprint? The conference spends more than that on shoelaces.

One of the first things that must be fixed across all sports is the video replay process.

1. Make sure the replay official has top of the line video equipment to view the replay. Not some old Phillips B&W.

2. Educate officials (hammer it into their heads) on the definition of "clear and convincing evidence" or "irrefutable evidence", whatever the term is. DO NOT RE-OFFICIATE THE PLAY! Literally everyone should agree with an overturned call.

3. Put a time limit on reviews - 60 or 90 seconds. If you can't tell after that amount of time the call must stand.

4. To emphasize these points, fire and publicly humiliate the replay official from the Minnesota football game and award Iowa the W.

Sounds too logical, never going to happen
