They are talking protocol.

Posted on September 16, 2026 at 08:24:07 PM by ny1995

What we consider “right” (generally) is not “right protocol”. See the Wetzel statement. The oversight committee is not commenting at all about whether the *underlying* call on the field was correct. It was not. They are only saying they followed bad protocol in changing it.

To be clear, the oversight committee is saying they got the call right, but used the wrong protocol - By ny1995 September 16, 2026 at 07:54:12 PM

  - They are talking protocol. - By ny1995 September 16, 2026 at 08:24:07 PM
    - They don't address whether the reviewed call was correct because they regard it irrelevant to the correct outcome of the game. - By tman September 16, 2026 at 09:14:26 PM
    - They could have said, they didn't follow protocol, the result would have been different but only because NBC improperly synced the stadium clock. They chose this wording specifically to deflect* - By LewisBullox September 16, 2026 at 08:31:56 PM
- "had the protocols been followed, the outcome of the game would have been different."* - By WOK September 16, 2026 at 08:01:43 PM
  - Cont: it’s bullshit either way. There was no need to release this statement. They already released a statement a week ago.* - By WOK September 16, 2026 at 08:03:00 PM
- Were they specific re "wrong protocol"?* - By hurryup September 16, 2026 at 07:57:44 PM
  - Yes, they were the protocols first written 3 days after the game ended. Absurd. * - By WestSideBlue September 16, 2026 at 08:00:21 PM
- I don't see anything about the call being right in their release. - By suede September 16, 2026 at 07:57:07 PM
  - Isn't the protocol discussed in the last paragraph the new protocol, which the NCAA announced, absurdly, the week after that game? If using the synced video isn't what they are supposed to do, why bother syncing all those cameras with the clock?* - By hurryup September 16, 2026 at 08:00:58 PM
  - No, they didn’t. They also didn’t say it was wrong. They only spoke to protocol - By ny1995 September 16, 2026 at 08:00:22 PM
- it reads like they went out of their way to say that WMU should have won. * - By Nikos September 16, 2026 at 07:56:22 PM
