Tournament officials

My paper said that the three officials from the Seton Hall/G'town game were suspended for two games and banned from post season by the Big East. I am merely pointing out a loophole. It seems to me that there really was no punishment at all, since they could simply now pick up games from some other conference for which they work on those dates, and they could still make the post season. This is a farce!
PS Rich F as a G'town grad, I can't let it go. I will NEVER forgive Kitts for this.

There is no loophole. They suspended him from their post season, not everyone elses. Conferences can only suspend you from their games, not the other conferences you work. No different than any other independent contractor in the country. These officials do not work for the NCAA, they are picked based on what each conference provides them. Nothing wrong about that.

Get a grip dude!!
