Quote:Official didn't like that the scoreboard operator was inciting the Reser Stadium crowd by playing replays of controversial calls before, during, and after the review process. Also, apparently didn't like that non-calls and non-reviews were being shown. There were a couple of calls, both ways, that were blown.

Apparently we are not supposed to be shown replays of calls under review as it may hurt the officials feelings.

The same censorship *sometimes* applies to tv broadcasts as well, it seems.  Who's holding the officials accountable anyway?

There are conference officials who grade every single play for every single official. There was an AMA on /r/CFB recently with a couple refs and they described this in detail.

Yeah, that was a slightly tongue-in-cheek remark.  I know that coaches are able to submit film to the conference office of plays they thought were called wrong.  What would have been in 2005 had we not lost to UC-D on a Nick Sanchez non-interception...

Have we seen poorly performing officials disappear from the CFB scene?
