Message: [QUOTE="MU in MKE, post: 5159735, member: 9984"] There always seem to be quite a stretch from some people here to blame Val for anything they don't like and say what a poor job she's doing, even when she has little to do with it. Officials are not picked by the conferences, they're only nominated and from there all conferences can do is petition their preferred refs. The officials are independant contractors of the NCAA. In addition, for those preferred officials, the BE (and many conferences) don't even stand alone in this area. The BE, ACC, A10, MEAC, and maybe others that I'm unaware of, are part of an alliance that works together to recruit, train, retain, and overall manage the officals they use amongst their conferences. So you can complain about the officials, but blaming Val because of poor officiating is, like i said, kind of a stretch. [/QUOTE]
