Incredible

I have seen Dave Parry suggest suspensions for non-BC$ conference players when similar yet worse hits by BC$ conference players are not considered suspendable. Will the flagrant Tennessee spear on the first reviewed play in the last few seconds draw a suspension? It should, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

One man should not be both the officials coordinator for a conference (Big Ten) and the NCAA officials coordinator at the same time. That is biased on its face when he speaks as the NCAA cooordinator but is defending his Big Ten crews as the conference coordinator without properly reviewing plays in question.

I fully expect a retraction from Parry once he realizes (I'm sure he has no clue now) that there were 12 players in the UNC formation as has been clearly pointed out in this thread. The call would have been correct under current rules with 11 players in the formation, but that is not how the play went down.

I stand by my earlier rules change suggestions.

Well this statement shows just how educated you are. Kind of invalidates everything else. Parry is NOT the Big Ten coordinator

Nothing I posted is invalidated, except that Parry was the Big Ten coordinator for 19 years until far too recently. Parry's Big Ten bias shows through clearly today.

I have no stake in either UNC or Tennessee, but college football suffered two big black eyes yesterday from incorrect and inconsistent Big Ten officiating. That fact remains no matter how much sugar-coating gets applied.

The game will survive just fine. Things far worse than a possible missed call or in 2 inconsequential bowl games have happened and the game has gone on.

Too many recent rules changes have been enacted to the detriment of the sport as result of "missed calls" in "inconsequential" games.

If changes need to be made (and they do) they need to be the right changes and not changes just because of the way the NFL does it.

Examples?

Restarting the game clock after out-of-bounds plays on the ready for play all the way down to the 2:00 mark in each half. Under current rules the clock is restarted and runs even if the OOB play was at 2:01 on the clock.

The OOB restart has always been the CFL rule even before the NFL adopted it. But as has been shown, too many plays have been taken out of college football games using this "speed-up" rule. But to counter that, using CFL rules there would be a 3:00 warning at the end of the first play with less than 3:00 left. Then the clock stop and reduced play clock rules would be in effect.
