College Football Game Analysis

1077 Words5 Pages

Recently, with and without the power of instant replay, college and professional football officials have been making outlandish calls that have changed the outcome of games. The NCAA and the NFL actually suspended the referees for one game and sent out letters to the teams saying that their was a mistake, and they should have won the game. These athletes have dreams of making Superbowls, high quality bowl games and the college football playoffs by earning the right to play in them with great team play. Now, with the power that the officials have been given with instant replay and with simply making bad calls; they have been taking away the players dreams that they rightfully earned with many years of dedication and hard work. The officials …show more content…

Badger fans raged in anger at the officials by chucking chunks of ice and snowballs in the direction of them after the 13-7 loss to Northwestern. They erupted with anger after a very controversial call on Joel Stave’s game winning touchdown pass on the last play of the game. The referees made the completely wrong call saying that the receiver did not complete the process of the catch. In college football, one step in bounds is needed in order to complete the catch, and the badger receiver had three, and that is what the fans saw on the jumbotron. Therefore, when officials reversed the call, calling it a drop, the fans burst out in anger hurling ice and snow in the direction of the referees. That was very dangerous because many chunks of ice did not make the field and they hit many fans. They were like rocks; hard and painful. “Chunks of Ice were flying everywhere, making a dangerous situation created by the referees,” said Evan Webster who was in attendance at the game. Also, in the 8th grade school survey, 71% of people agree that officials have made dangerous situations while making bad …show more content…

In all three sports stories, the outcome was basically the same; because of the referees poor calls, the team that deserved to win the game lost, and that made the players and fans feel terrible. They were like funerals, sad and painful. Therefore, in today 's era many teams are losing when they rightfully won the game, and this should not be happening. The NCAA and NFL should only send officials that they know are going to make consistent and competent calls. If the referees make big mistakes, they should be suspended for more than just one game. They should get suspended for at least three games and potentially more depending on the severity of the error with calling the

  • Why Tom Brady Should Not Have Been Suspended Essay

    1231 Words  | 5 Pages

    The NFL Players Association is criticized for putting all the power into Goodell’s hands. Goodell has the power of being the judge and the juror, he decides whether or not players be punished and then he decides how long they are going to be suspended or how much they will be fined. The Players Association is blamed for this because, in their last collective bargaining agreement with league officials, they failed to gain any leverage in the sentencing of their players’ punishments. The NFL is also criticized in the handling of Tom Brady’s punishment due to the amount of time it took them to deal out his suspension. McCann said in his interview “The NBA had the story of Donald Sterling’s racial comments handled in less than 72 hours”.

    The NFL should research more on CTE and discover ways to prevent it. One way could be providing safety gear that could protect the players from concussions, which is a major cause of CTE.

Our brains are not genetically engineered to sustain an impact on our cranium, so players who suffer a concussion in a game should not be let back into the game until proper treatment is provided. Until this happens we cannot trust the NFL on anything

    When dealing with a situation such as Deflategate there are many uncertainties for which you must make assumptions. Many things in the investigation were assumed, most of which were accurate, but some important assumptions that were made were quite inaccurate. So, the next reason why the NFL investigation was flawed, is exactly that; inaccurate assumptions were made. The main inaccurate assumption was regarding the timeline on which the events during halftime occurred, more specifically they assumed that each team's footballs were pressure gauged right after one another during halftime. To put this in context, during halftime of the AFC championship, six officials took both team's game balls and went into the Officials Locker Room to gauge the footballs.
