The NFL needs no explanation. Look at today as a perfect example. They played flag football all season, and then today just decided to let the teams play. The refs pretty much were the deciding factor in both games.

College football....we are all aware of the Devin White situation. Bama bias seems to be a real thing. It was talked about by way more than just LSU fans.

NBA... Open the MSB board and see them constantly crying about refs, Harden flops, and stars getting all the calls. This sport may be the worst of them all because you know the NBA finals champion before the season even starts.

College basketball...calls in basketball in general are terrible. College basketball isn't quite the NBA, but it's still nothing to brag about.

Now to college baseball...nobody gives a shite enough about the sport for them to cheat. There isn't bias from higher ups to get a certain team to the top. Baseball is already the perfect sport, so it already has that going for it. Add in no outside influence, and how do you top it if you are a pure sport enthusiast?

College b-ball was so over-reffed last year. This year isn’t quite as bad.

Or they saved a few people's lives. Whichever way you choose to look at it.

Debateable. You can argue that these aluminum bats today aren't much better than wooden bats.

This is very true. If there was some kind of bias then we would have won a few national championships between 09 and now. Texas would have as well

Ultimate Frisbee is a team sport and is mostly self-officiated. There is a tenant called Spirit-of-the-Game which we follow. It has the movement of football, soccer and basketball. High-level games are filled with spectacular plays. Go check it out:

There is absolutely zero evidence to make one believe that.

At first I absolutely hated the new bats. With the new ball they’re using, the game is very close to perfect. If anything is a killer, it’s the scholarship limits.

Can’t the umpire behind the plate pretty much dictate how the game is going to go? I have seen a home plate ump completely screw up games with inconsistent strike zones and screw teams with their strike zones as well. Especially late in a game.

I’m not going to buy there is no problems or ‘cheating’ in college baseball
