Boren Calls For OU-Oregon Game To Be Declared No Contest

NORMAN, Okla. -- University of Oklahoma President David Boren is now getting involved in the controversy over two controversial calls near the end of Saturday's OU-Oregon game.
The calls on an onside kick and a pass-interference call both went against Oklahoma, even though replays indicated the calls could've gone against Oregon.
Boren is sending a letter to Big 12 Conference commissioner Kevin Weiberg, in which Boren said the "lapse of accurate officiating" is "an outrageous injustice."
Boren wants Weiberg to take several steps including asking for an apology from the Pac 10 for what Boren called "gross errors in officiating" and to ask that the game not be recorded as a win or a loss by either team.
He also wants the officials who reviewed the plays suspended for the rest of the season; that the Big 12 ask the Pac 10 to change its rule calling for only Pac 10 officials at non-conference home games; and for the Big 12 to call for a discussion of how the replay review process should be implemented.
OU athletic director Joe Castiglione has already asked for a review of the officiating, and Pac 10 Commissioner Tim Hansen said the results of that review will be announced Tuesday.
