    This will never happen. It seems nowadays at the beginning of each season (all pro-sports included) they are making changes to game to "speed it up".

    which is why there should be no conference officials, they should all be trained and governed by the NCAA and sent out on assignments by the NCAA. Then there would be an incentive to being a good ref. If you screw up, fine instead of reffing the LSU-Auburn game you get to ref the nicholls st. SFA game.

    Its easy, just like the NFL, the best refs are rewarded by reffing the biggest games.

    Regardless of how you feel about them, the new clock rules have been proven to shave off a lot of time from most games. As a result, the "slowing down the pace of the game" argument is moot regarding my second point.

    Besides, if the networks truly wanted to shorten the game, they'd put a stop to all the TV timeouts. Now THERE'S something that'll never happen. (Seriously, three minutes of commercials after a score and three minutes more after the kickoff is ridiculous.)

    In the case of postseason play, the NFL mixes and matches the best officials at each position and throws them together as a crew in the playoffs, instead of choosing the best overall crew that works the same games together.

    TV networks will not lessen the TV timeouts. They pay to cover these games, how they hell are they supposed to make there money from it?

    It's a joke, chill. Of course they won't. I'm making fun of networks acting like shortening the game is the highest priority.

    They always claim the SEC officials were correct. Nothing new here.

    I think the poster who asked if the SEC has ever admitted to a bad call is right on the money. As an LSU fan I love the SEC, but let's be honest here. I don't think there is a more crooked conference than the SEC. There could be a bad call in every SEC game for the next 50 years and they would never admit to it.
