So Whitlock was on the Herd show. Apparently there have been whispers for a while about corruption in ACC officiating. He firmly believes the off sides call against UNC was a fix. He stated that the ACC needed a team in the college playoffs thus the blatant bad call. IMO, this is a good thing this is getting national attention. You watch, next year ACC refs will be under a microscope and hopefully some journalists start digging and find the root of this corruption.

It is not a stretch to now say we are justified in our outcries that the ACC has blatantly singled out Miami. If they will go so far as to determine the outcome of a championship game then certainly they have the power to make sure Miami gets the brunt of the bad calls we have seen for the last several years.

Usually UNC and Duke get the benefit of the calls. In this case, they had to protect Clemson and their spot in the playoff. An investigation of the officiating is long overdue. It sucks.
 
I always thought it was ridiculous to claim they were against us and that we play in such an undisciplined way that we make it easier for them to flag us.

But the last drive for Duke was absurd, several PIs that were beyond questionable.

ACC officials are either just plain awful at their jobs or corrupt or both.
 
They stuck it to us in Duke and UNC. Probably because our season was already done and those teams had chances to go places. College football really has an officiating problem across the country.

the ref threw the flag before he could know which team recovered

Exactly. There is no grand conspiracy here, just an poor level of officiating competence across the ranks of the ACC, with a little home town bias thrown in from time to time.

Last time I checked, we won the Duke game because of supposed "bad" calls that went our way. Again, as I said above, no grand conspiracy, just bad refs and unchecked human bias.
 
I'm all in that ACC Sucks from officiating to commish
U lose all cred with claiming a fix on the ko call though/ the flag flew way b4 the recovery / rt at the kick
These refs just suck ....,
 
After the Duke game there was a clear and unquestionable bias against us. It sure seemed like they were going to make sure we paid for the errors made by the officials during that game.

Let's not forget the 3 PI calls on Dukes last drive, the no review on their go ahead TD and all the other Bull****.

Then during the UNC game there were 2 blatant tounting penalties against UNC when they did the upside down U after touchdowns yet no calls. It would've made no difference in the outcome of the game I just find it funny that S. Coley can get a penalty a game for being a little too exuberant after a catch and then other teams get away with that non-sense.
 
Where was the unsportsmanlike penalties on the repeated upside down []_[] to the crotch against UNC? oh that's right, it wasn't Miami doing the celebrating so that's allowed.
 
I'll grant you that Im sort of a part time tin foil hat wearer but...


For decades now Ive been of the opinion that much of college football officiating is fixed. As a former gambler I saw stuff that blew me away during critical games where there was heavy action. As well, how is it that the NCAA rules with an iron fist over all aspects of college athletics yet leaves game officiating up to the individual conferences??? That makes zero sense.... Unless you know that stuff is going on that you don't want to be connected to.

When was the last time that the NCAA ever investigated an officiating crew or crews for fraudulent behavior? Top my knowledge they never have.

With regard to the ACC, does anyone doubt the control of the tobacco road mafia? Duke and UNC basketball are all the proof anyone might need. For decades they would brag that "Duke makes more free throws than the other team attempts." Well duh!!! They get every single call in every single game.

If UM football were at the level its was at during the mid to late 80's or the late 90's, it would have literally DESTROYED ACC football. Look at what happened to the PAC10 when Pete Carroll took over USC. Same thing. EVERY KID in the state of California (the recruiting market that feeds the entire Pac 10) wanted to go to USC. The entire conference went to ****. Its not a accident that the NCAA went full ****** on USC with sanctions. The same thing would have happened to the ACC had it not been for the midget marxist.

I've often opined that part of donna's motivation in doing the damage she did to UM football was part of her deal to get UM into the ACC. By again, Im a tin foil hat kinda guy. lol

Fair point, but doesn't the ACC have something to gain from Miami becoming a powerhouse again? I'm not disagreeing with the points in this thread...just playing devil's advocate.

The point that the referees favor teams that have a chance to make higher bowl games over a team with its season over makes a ton of sense though.

Great point, though you may have lost me at the end there a bit.
