Accountability: SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey Blamed TV Announcers And Analysts For Why Everyone Thinks The Conference Refs Are Garbage
You almost gotta admire how delusional Greg Sankey is here. I mean it's an incredible way to put blame somewhere else instead of being like yeah, I know America watched the games. Calls were wrong, we'll evaluate. Nope it went to TV announcers and ref analysts need to learn the rules because they are idiots - basically. Obviously most people are talking about the Texas/Mizzou game with calls like this
But here's the thing. Refs are bad. They just are. There's no consistency. People from every team bitch about how bad refs are and it's not like anything is done about it. You're not punishing these guys by making them ref a Vandy/Auburn game where it doesn't matter. You can't sit there and yell that announcers and ref analysts saying calls are wrong is tricking everyone's mind. Not when we have eyes. Not when we watch more football than ever before because every game is out there. You can see the calls. And I know that most replays and slow motion don't do the justice of the call.
I don't know what Sankey is trying to accomplish here. It's just going to piss off people even more than just saying refs fucked up and you're trying to correct it. Still no reason why the SEC doesn't adapt the replay system where we get to hear what's going on. It takes away all the questions and clears it up. At some point you can't keep insulting your fanbase and even announcers. Love the delusion though.
