The article talks about a study that purports to show that referees really are biased, though not in ways people think.

ACC and Big 12 refs tend to penalize home teams less during games between conference rivals. Favored Big Ten teams are penalized fewer yards when playing nonconference teams, the study says, while Big 12 officials appear to punish teams that play faster—a potential concern for the go-go Ducks on Monday night.

Unfortunately, the article doesn't mention the Pac-12, nor everyone's favorite target, the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends.

How can you have an article on referee bias without the UDFG?  That's like a car without an engine.  Benny without the Jets.
