USC won 17-14 tonight, right? The Pac 12 reversed the ruling that the refs made at the end of the game and made the final score 23-14. This just so happened made USC cover the Vegas spread.

College football corrupt? No Way! I mean, it's not like somebody could make money on it, is it?

So if you think this is "corrupt", please give the details of the play, the penalty, and the rule on the penalty then explain where the corruption is.

Just because you feel its corrupt doesnt mean it is.

First of all, the rule is flat out dumb. Second of all, to enforce it on the last play of a game is WAY dumb.

How quickly did they reverse it? There was a window where, if you had Utah, you could have cashed out. Then the USC tickets could be cashed.

Does that really matter? There are blown calls at the end of the game all the time not to count all the ones blown during the game. Is the SEC, Pac-12, etc.... going to go back and review and reverse every blown call that happens during a game?

The problem I see is that inevitably if there is a score on the last play of regulation, there's going to be an emotional response that will always border on being excessive celebration. Taking points off the board at the end of the game is a really bad precedent to set.

Is it not also a bad precedent to set that you are going to go back and reverse ruling after the game is over? Are they going to go back and reverse a bad call that occurred in the first quarter now too? I agree the rule is dumb but to set a precedent that allows the conference to reverse rulings is going to cause a lot of problems. What if that play would've won the game for the other team, would they had reversed it and allowed USC to win?

That's my point though. They simply cannot take points off the board like that at the end of a game. Otherwise when it really matters, they may be forced to take points away and affect an outcome.

It doesnt matter. Excessive penalty is a dead ball foul which means after the play. After this play there was no time on the clock because the game was over. No game = no penalty. Scored the TD, time ran out, game done. What they did afterwards doesnt matter

The penalty wasn't for what they did afterwards, it was the whole team ran on the field after the FG was blocked and before it was recovered. The penalty for taking away TDs for excessive celebration is dumb enough. However, for a conference to set a precedent that they are going to start overturning stuff after the game is over, put you in a dangerous situation. Are they going to go back and review every play in every game and see if the right call was made? You are opening up pandora's box with this ruling.

Not anymore. Celebrations en route to a score are now live ball penalties stepped off from the spot of the foul.

I see what you are saying, but I still say it's a lot more dangerous to set a precedent where you take points off the board at the end of a game.
