Out of context. Those comments at Big 12 media days were made about teams paying players. Not about anything else. Can we move on from this pointless search to blame everybody else for having a poor football team?
Definitely pointed out it was not about the exact same thing. And is it why we have a poor football team? No.
But here's the thing, we struggle. We have very thin margins to win a lot of these games, and yet, we seem to have a lot of these big calls that change the game in a huge way. Would we have won this game? Maybe, maybe not. But it's not crazy to say it had a huge impact on how the rest of the game goes.
And back to the original post. I know it's not on the exact same topic, but this guy comes of say no way does cheating happen and there are no previous points to base it off of. And yet, he talks about how schools probably get away with cheating to get players and it works. Is it really crazy to think a league office would favor getting better teams through the regular season? Not really
Whats dumb with this call is that it wasn't even just a poor judgement call on the field, they had time to "review" it in a booth. They could have decided it was beneficial for OSU to get the TD because we don't want one of our struggling 4 ranked teams losing at home to ISU. Do I think this happened? No I don't. But it's not as if it would surprise anyone if that happened.
Moral of the story...we have a struggling team that has a small margin for error, and the calls never seem to help us. Especially in key plays
