Knowing this situation, I would have thought very seriously about taking these games. Let's say he DIDN'T make that call at the end. He wouldn't be subjected to plenty of unfair character assasination, just because he missed a call. Thinking further, I would have turned the games down.

Hartzell has been a college athletic director for a long time -- since 1985 at UM-Baltimore County (they went D-I while he was there) and for a long time at Bucknell as well. He's been a D-I AD for the better part of 20 years and this crap comes out now because of some idiot on ESPN?
