Just two thoughts. If the game is a rivalry game and there have been incidents in the past, then the officials might be deliberately calling it very tight.
Camera angles can be very deceiving. They are inherently 2-D and often quite far away (although zoomed in). If you find a camera angle that shows that no contact occurred, you can believe that. If the camera shows that contact did occur, that is less certain. We've all had situations where our partner(s) grabbed something when we know for certain there was no contact. Reason, from their angle it looked like there was contact. But from our angle, we could see that there was none. And that is from 20-30 feet away.
