Why can't college football have replay booths on the field?

It's so stupid to have a replay official. Its just one more person that can screw us over. Why can't we have what the NFL has?

If the refs on the field are already on the take then what difference does it make? If we've bought the refs off you should push for more officials, not less. You might as well make it more expensive for us to enact our nefarious plot to keep LSU down.

Personally not a fan of that system. No one likes having to reverse their own decision...I wonder what the rates of seemingly getting the calls right after going to replay are for both systems.
That being said, I think the biggest travesty we have when it comes to officiating is having officials that can and do have ties to programs playing on the field. After all, there's a damn reason when bowl games are played there are neutral conference officials doing the games.
Personally I'd like to see officiating handled either by the NCAA directly or by some type of pool system run by the conferences that would ensure that crews working games have ZERO connections to the teams on the field.
Dare to dream...

if the sec (alabama) refs want to make a bad call, noone knows who they are.
but, you know if it's not slive, it's some alabama alumni.

I'm glad that you are all joking. You have no idea how pathetic and crazy you probably sound to those who aren't in on the joke.

This is a dumb thread
Replay official has multiple angles In a much more conducive environment to getting the call right.
And it's way way way faster and more efficient

Actually, it's BETTER to have a replay official and take it out of the hands of the guys who made the initial mistake.
What both college and the NFL SHOULD do is something similar to what they do in rugby. On a close call, the referee signals up to the booth for review, and simply asks, for example, "Did the player touch the ball down in the try zone before or after he went out of bounds?" The replay official reviews the play, usually very quickly, and responds either with, "Yes, you may award the try," or "No, the player hit the flag and was thus out of bounds prior to touching the ball down."
Very simple, clear cut, eliminates the coaches from it, and gets it right. No ref having to run over to the sideline and ask for various angles.

I would just like to see a company with deep pockets create the perfect replay system for football, as a concept system then you could sell the individual products to conferences and the nfl. It would be over the top, I don't know how in this day and age a bad angle could cause a field goal to be called wrong.
