I'm sorry wildcat but these 2 sentences are not consistent in any possible way, shape or form. What you have is a woefully uninformed opinion, which of course you are entitled to.

I did some quick research, and I looked up free-throw attempts in the PAC-10, ACC, and SEC. This should have some small correlation to the number of fouls called. These numbers represent conference schedule numbers, as of today.
ACC FTA: 4863
PAC 10 FTA: 4933
SEC FTA: 5751
I know I'm biased, but I honestly just want fair officiating that doesn't affect the game. Anyone who saw the Arizona at Stanford game knows how much the officials changed the outcome.

Soo...your claim that the pac-10 has more fouls than any other league is disproven by your own stats. BTW by requirement the officials affect *every* game, you just don't realize it. BTW2 in many instances fouls occuring at the end of the game - so-called strategic fouls - tend to skew the overall foul count, depending on how close the game is and how stubborn the losing coach is. For your stats to reflect the reality you are attempting to portray you'll need to filter out the strategic fouls.
Anyway....what's your point again?
