They pretty much laughed it off during the Cal/UCLA halftime highlights.

I think they're trying to laugh it off because making a big deal of it literally jeopardizes their careers

Is it possible NBC isn’t synced up to the game clock? I am disappointed as the rest of CFB fans but also see all the photos are based off the NBC clock.

Edit: Just saw another clip synced with the scoreboard. Ball hits the players hand like 0.2 seconds after the clock goes to 0. WMU got jipped

All week these guys clutched pearls pushing the "NFL Players" lie.

This is what they do when one of their preferred teams clearly cheats.

Is this what it takes for fans to realize how corrupt this sport is? Just wait until the SEC season starts.

There is an undeniable stench surrounding major college sports and it’s causing fans to simply become disinterested and to find better things to do. I’ve watched a combined 10 minutes of football over the last 2 weeks and have no real interest in following it much this year.

Why? ESPN doesn’t have the Big Ten media rights. I’m surprised ESPN bosses didn’t take the chance to hammer a rival network and conference.

They sure as hell have the media rights to the playoffs so it is in their best interest for the biggest brands in the largest markets to make it in.

Because they know darn well if it were an SEC team hosting a CUSA team with SEC refs, the same damn thing would have happened.

They've got to be conscious about throwing stones from a glass house.

Why would Michigan be a preferred team for ESPN? They don’t play on there anymore unless it’s a playoff/bowl game or an away OOC game.

It was fricked as soon as ESPN got their Bama rematch in the 2011 season. Way too much power.

It's all about the money.

The big brands are seen as too big to fail.

I would agree but it depends on the show.

when you have Stephen A and Finebaum do their appearances on their shows than there will be more pot stirring material. Which they actually ripped the BIG 10 as they should have. I watched a clip of their show today off of YouTube.

or people just know what to expect and while they disagree with the narrative at times there is no point getting mad at something they have no control over.

Maybe the MAC is just the Generals to the BIG10’s Globetrotters, and West Michigan just didn’t get the memo.
