So, wins can be vacated for student athletes having their dinners paid for, but in the matter of right and wrong for the outcome of a contest, we just shrug it off?!!
Translation the @CFBPlayoff should consider @UMichFootball a 1 loss team to a G6 team now, and @WMU_Football is immediately undefeated in all our heads moving forward. Scoff is ya like, but it could seriously impact both of those teams positively or negatively at seasons end. 🤔
It’s not like this wouldn’t be an easy fix. Last play shouldn’t have happened. Western Michigan is the winner 12-7. Why even have an oversight committee if you won’t correct the “oversight”? We didn’t need a committee to know they fucked WMU over. We all saw it.
If Michigan was a half way honorable program they would announce that they forfeit this game but they are a morally bankrupt program who can’t win legitimately.
They'll strip wins years after an incident when it no longer matter, but refuse to fix something right now that would impact the entire season. Absolute idiocracy.
What this means is the public and committee have to count this as a loss for Michigan even though their record says otherwise.
The game was *LITERALLY* stolen from WMU by the officials.
The FBS Oversight Committee released a statement saying that instant replay protocols were NOT followed during the clock controversy between WMU & Michigan.
“Had the protocols been followed, the outcome of the game would have been different.” Western Michigan won.
FBS oversight committee: Western Michigan beat Michigan. The refs were wrong. The result should be different. We saw it. You saw it. Everybody saw it.
But we’re not changing it because that would hurt Michigan and that’s not allowed.
This is truly the worst thing that could happen for the Big Ten.
This is a major college football scandal that is going to resonate beyond sports coverage and, I predict, cost someone or multiple people their jobs.
It cannot happen. I want investigations and firings now.
The game should be overturned and awarded to western Michigan. Everyone knows it. I don’t care how much they celebrate. Tomorrow morning we should wake up and have it announced that western Michigan won.
I’ve never understood why game outcomes aren’t changed in these situations. I know that a mistake that happens with time on the clock can’t be overturned after the game ends, but in this case the game WAS OVER. The result should be reversed.
The ending of the Michigan-Western Michigan game is one of the most scandalous, crooked, absurd things I’ve seen in sports.
The result should be overturned.
Western Michigan busted their fucking ass for 3 hours for a program changing win, and they got it stolen from them. It’s fucking disgusting to be honest. I didn’t have a dollar on the game. They got cheated. It’s an epic failure and mockery if it’s not overturned tomorrow.
