No one thinks they are actually cheating. We just want them to be better. I can consistently see the same missed calls throughout every game I watch. There are holes in the rules of the game that also need to be corrected.

You mean every college football game, LSU game, or Bama vs LSU game? Would you expound upon that a little more.

Which ones would you like to be corrected? I'm not saying their should or shouldn't be changes. I'm just interested in what changes people would like.

Most of them aren't cheating, but many of them have a subconscious bias.

And a few of them have no integrity whatsoever

I present you with the replies in this thread as evidence to the contrary.

Unfortunately, a section of our fan base truly believes that the refs are secretly working for Bama and Auburn.

And they consistently favor the flagship schools as you can see in the cited study.

I'm not sure why cheating or biased officials is some shocking relevation to some. Some athletic events are rigged and they always have been. Match fixing is very real.

I mean in 1919 the White Sox threw the world fricking series. Pro Soccer is plagued by match fixing. It happened in the Olympics recently. Also numerous examples of officials fixing games exists too.
