Any comments on the officiating crew for the Oregon / Oklahoma football game being suspended for officiating mistakes that supposedly determined the outcome of the game?

I've got sympathy for them, but I completely understand and have no problems with the situation.

If in my 'day job' my company had a high profile contract and I was making high profile decisions that greatly affect the status of my client, I would expect to be held to high standards. If I make a costly, national-news worthy mistake, then I would expect severe repremands.

If I made the exact same mistake in a low profile situation, I would be hope my company would issue a lesser penalty.

I think the real issue is everyone seems to want to continue the farse that college football is an amateur sport.
