School fined $10k by conference

[QMany]

He should pay the fine himself, not the University.

.... and he should write the check on camera and post it on Twitter. FAN RELATIONS!

Fined 10k and reprimanded and the dudes for tOSU and Mich got nothing additional, for fighting and flipping off the crowd, give me a break, stupid B1G, stupid Daleny

you are right. players should be expected to be as mature, if not more mature, than a head coach.

although, everyone knows you can never criticize the refs. so there's that.

 

[JTrain]

Psssh. We just saved $7.2 million. 10K is chump change.

As opposed to what we just spent $7.2 million on. It's starting to make sense why there are so many Wal-Marts in Nebraska.

I'm actually surprised it took this long for Bo to hold back on criticizing the officials in a post game press conference. Credit to him.

Wait, I said that wrong. You know what I meant.

I hope the bar you are setting for maturity isn't a coach that acted like a petulant child on friday

I just hope we can afford to field a team after this NCAA fine.

Oh, we have ample funds since we cut back on the number of books we give to players.

I think the University should sue the conference for $10,000 for having sh*tty officials. That way they can regain the lost revenue.

Am I one of the few that believes the ref made the right call? It's probably been mentioned already but the referees approach these situations as if every receiver is a super-human athlete, regardless of actual ability. So, if a pass is within the realm of possibility of being caught, they're going to throw a flag.

Now, personally, I think this ball was a little out of reach, but we had no business tackling the receiver in the first place.

Players can't make decisions that take the outcome of a play/game out of their hands and put it into the hands of the referees.

 

[sd'sker]

i agree enhance. it was not a bad call, at worst it was questionable.

just odd that bo reacted that way to that call, but he was pretty mild at psu when we saw probably the worst call in a decade against burtch that negated a td.

 

[Redux]

Ill take the fine. Got us the #1 Juco DT. Fair price to pay IMHO.

 

[GBRedneck]

FYI, the fine comes out of Bo's pocket.

I'd be more apt to buy into this theory if they didn't pick up interference flags because passes were deemed uncatchable. I've seen this happen several times in the past few weeks alone. It's a valid concern.

 

[3rd and long]

Did the officials huddle and talk about it. Usually one of the others will come in and talk with the one who threw the flag to let him know the ball was probably not catchable (I didn't see the play so I don't know).

While I think the conference officiating is atrocious, I think they are that bad accros the board. I think if people watched all the Big10 games objectively, you would see that there are horrible calls to go around. Against all the teams.
