Nothing that talking heads say is a "matter of fact". Most of their information comes from a Mr. M. Yass (yes, they have to pull the information out of him normally).

The bottom line -- the top officials in the NCAA work in ALL of the top leagues - the only restriction being geography (you won't find an ACC official working Pac-10 and vice-versa for the most part).

It's all the SAME officials! To say that the Big 10 allows more rough play than the SEC is all based on commentators / fans perceptions, which are usually based on their on preconceived ideas rather than reality.
