Your conference embarrassed itself bigtime tonight with the disgraceful job done by the Sun Belt refs in the Nebraska/Michigan game. It was just plain pitiful.

That's kind of like saying C-USA embarrassed itself by allowing you to be a fan. Some things are just out of our control.

What do you expect with the kind of dollars the SBC has to go around? Did Wright Waters force these refs into this game through some kind of agreement with the NCAA? If so I hold both WW and the NCAA responsible for not screening these refs for talent level. All this exposes is the fact that the TV money that the BCS conferences gets from their TV deals allows them to hire better referees. rolleyes.gif

The Bowl Alliance takes officials in proportion to the number of teams sent to bowls the year before.

Last year we sent one crew to either the Peach or Champs Sports and got good reviews.

I believe we also had a crew at Champs this year and got positive marks.

Apparently we have one good crew.

They never officiated an NT home game!!

Several SunBelt Conference refs also cross over to other conferences. One lives near my station. I met him on a call we made to his house due to an electrical storm. I was riffling through his office area and look up and see at least a 100 videos and many photos of games all across the south region. Then I saw one from the N.O. Bowl in '01 and asked him if he refed Belt games. He said he refed for C-USA and SunBelt games. Can't remember his name but I hope he wasn't a part of that crew for the Alamo game. Still not as bad as the '88 tU vs NT game.

They come from the BCS conferences.

Refs come from other conferences. As a ref you can't officate over games that involve your alma mater or its conference. I used to know I guy from Florida State who was on an SBC officating crew.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
