re: Should NCAA grant Oklahoma State the victory?

What you do is change the rule that gives Oklahoma State any argument here because it's a poorly written rule - the rule didn't account for turnover on downs.

This. I've got no sympathy for Oklahoma State who was supposed to win a a bullshite technicality like that. The rule is designed to prevent an untimed down on a a last second forward lateral at the 10 yard line or something that would be accepted if the play resulted in a TD, but the offense shouldn't get another play there. In this case it was either Gundy knowing about the rule and trying to win with that BS heave or Gundy not knowing about the rule and not sending a WR out because he's crazy.

Regardless, an untimed down and heave from 60 yards is what CMU deserved, and they delivered.

ETA: This was a technicality. By the letter of the law, OSU should have won. By the intent of the law, CMU deserved the play. I guess it comes down to which one you deem the most important.
