The only way to do such a study with any merit would be to actually analyze how many calls were missed in these games and overlay it with the information from this study.

Yeah, more fouls are getting called on visiting teams who are winning with lower foul counts on national TV, but is that because the refs are biased (even if it is subconsciously) or is it because visiting teams who are winning with lower foul counts on national TV are committing more fouls?

A little birdy tells me these two professors aren't qualified to study that question.
