Ejection in Clemson/Michigan game
Baseball guy here. Being an official I know better than to trust the announcers. Can one of you explain to me why the crew didn't look at the monitor before shooting the FTs. Also, if Clemson wins the game can he play in the next game? Any comments on the EJ would be great, too.

It was originally called an intentional foul. The same result of number of FTs and point they put the ball was the same. I have a feeling that someone probably suggested the player should be ejected. So it really did not matter (game wise) what time they looked at the monitor before or after the FTs. I can only assume that someone mentioned this after the fact so they looked at the monitor to be sure.

Was this the kid that threw the elbow? I saw it come intentional and then they switched games...

Yep, they went to the monitor after the FTs and ejected him. The announcers then said that because it was an elbow and not a fist he can play in next game if Clemson wins. I have no clue if that is true or not.

They've been cracking down on elbows all year.

Yes, had Clemson won, he could have played. It was not fighting.

Moot point now.
