Simple Solution: Each time a team is penalized, award the opposing teams points based on the infraction.

There is enough money in CFB to make the refs full time employees, with grading systems, rewards, punishments, etc. They should be evaluated each game and then culled by their performance. Give bonuses for proper calls, impartiality, and correct their mistakes. Maybe they even clean the game up a little and greatly reduce things like holding and improper tackling techniques from the game.

If you make it a desirable job with competitive salaries and benefits, you’ll have the best chance of getting the best talent and outcomes.

Agree 100%! And no more SEC, BIG,ACC crews. Just NCAA FBS/FCS officials.

Want to know why refs are so bad now? Just drive over to any little league game next Spring and Summer and watch 75% of the parents act like complete fools and imbeciles and treating refs and umps like they are sub human as opposed to real people doing something they enjoy because they love kids and the game. Who would volunteer or be paid $50 bucks or so to be verbally abused by delusional and abusive parents for 2 hours? There’s your answer - and believe me, I know. My son is 16 and has spent his entire life in baseball. It’s sickening.

Bad part is that the idiots you describe OFTEN turn into posters on these sites and callers on radio shows. A bit of arrogance goes a long way when accompanied by a total lack of discretion.

The problem is we don't need them to be so powerful. With today's technology, the ball and the player gear could tell you if someone caught it or it hit the ground, if they were out of bounds, if there was resistance to the jersey indicating holding, and so forth. These guys are outdated and need revamping to remove their influence in places where the human element is required.

I would love to see calls be reviewable. Let the calls be conferred or overturned the same way plays are reviewable. Make it challengeable too. We have the technology!
