If we miss a call, it's on Sports Center or at least a local telecast the next day. And the rulesmakers and supervisors don't want us to miss this particular call...because there's no longer a reason not to.

Don't you think that maybe a better idea might be to try and fix the cause instead of the effect, if the cause actually is what you say it is? If the officials are really causing the problem(which I completely and vehemently disagree with btw), then the NCAA should be going back to those officials through their conference supervisors. And.....how do you know that they aren't already doing that?

The main reason officials are out of position is because they can't keep up with the speed of play. A lot of these officials, if they were judged solely on their positioning, play calling, and fitness, would be long gone. For whatever reason supervisors are scared to put people on the floor that can do those things better because they don't have the reputation of these older officials.
