A&M AD does not know what there getting into

I told you last week we would talk about some of the different procedures we will experience as we transition to the SEC. The first that comes to mind is football officiating. The most significant change is in the Big 12 the timer is seated in the press box. In the SEC, the backup official on the field runs the clock. This will require us to make some updates to our current timing system at Kyle Field which we will do in the off-season. The SEC also has a very sophisticated and complete protocol for reviewing all aspects of football officiating. The SEC coordinator of football officials monitors each SEC game from the command center at the headquarters in Birmingham, Ala. It is far and away the most impressive process I have ever seen. I’ve also heard they have had our games on their command center monitors the last few weeks.
