>>Almost every other conference has a rule that the traveling team provides the officials.<<

I don't think any conference has this rule, its just that game contracts usually provide for this. Its an agreement between the schools and has been in place since the NCAA outlawed split crews.

I think the NCAA just needs to step in again and say that in non-conference games, officials are provided by a third party conference. I don't think it makes any difference, but if they are going to play this game, at least make the appearences that everything is "neutral."

Its also interesting to see commentators note that there should have been a split crew.
