After witnessing some horrendous missed calls and review blunders during Saturday nights game. Should the B1G make it mandatory to air live review audio conversations between the Refs and review center? ACC started doing it this year and I think it's great.
Should B1G follow ACC review audio?

It should happen but never will. Far too incriminating for the B1G. They won’t be able to hide their innate bias.
I love how the ACC handles reviews. The b1g will probably never do it.
What were the "horrendous missed calls" and "review blunders"?
I'm all for more transparency with something like this, but that would come into play more for a more complex review. The overturned fumble wouldn't have been too exciting..."here, slow it down, there is his knee touching the ground..ok, we're going to go back to this spot, what is the down and distance".
<edit> - I guess the targeting call would have also been one for us to listen in on...but though that McAulay explained it pretty well anyways.

Not unless you believe the officials are inherently biased which amounts to trying to fix the game. If I were a B1G official, I would not continue to work if there is live audio. The job is hard enough already. For instance, in the O-PSU game, the reversed fumble was correct, his knee did touch. The unsportsmanlike call on Oregon was BS. It is a hard job, don't make it harder.
My point is, why not have the transparency like the ACC is doing. Let us know the reasoning for the calls and what they're seeing. Seems pretty simple.
Do you think the b1g is going to allow the country to hear, “F*ck Penn State” and “Don’t go against michigan”?
If you really believe that is true, start a movement to get PSU to leave the Big ten. The MAC would take Penn State in a heartbeat.
I love it. I actually go out of my way to watch ACC games that I otherwise would not.
Every conference, sport, league, etc. should have this. More transparency and accountability are a good thing, especially given how in bed the sports are with all of the gambling companies now.
If touching the top of a blade of grass equals 'the ground', there are a whole mess of completed passes that shoulda been called incomplete over the years, no?
Yes, the ACC replay audio transparency is interesting. The sport brings so much of the behind the scenes to the front in other aspects, and proudly promotes the gambling aspects, that this actually helps keep people grounded (PR-wise) from wild speculation about conspiracies and cheating behind the scenes.

Both college and pro football are becoming unwatchable at times due to the current rules and officiating. No holding calls on edge rushers - ever. DBacks bear hug receivers w/ no penalty.
Another b|tch - the games are too fast now. Not the players, the time clock. Of course that still means a 3 hour watch, just like it did 10 years ago, but the only beneficiary of that is the advertisers and the networks of course. In a good match-up, there aren't enough possessions per team anymore.
And another b|tch - Let's imagine a world where the NBA decided they were going to strictly enforce the original traveling and palming infractions. They couldn't do it if they wanted to. No one could play the game. They'd have to start a near decade long program of changing the enforcement going down to junior high school first. That's how ingrained they have become.
