The reffing in the Big Ten has been awful all year. So many games where nothing is a foul and then everything is a foul. Video reviews are annoying but not nearly as bad as calling a foul literally every time someone falls down

My one compromise: we always want refs to “get it right” and reviews are a means to that…but we handcuff them with rules around it (only in L2M, only on certain calls) and the refs, quite frankly, make it worse on themselves (lack of understand of physics, the process of how the review occurs)… 1/n

So do this: expand the process for reviews to the whole game, but only on possession after the last media break of the half, coaches get 1 challenge, add in the provision for goaltending (immediate possession and shot) so we don’t get an NW/PSU incident, and then do this 2/n

Only one ref looks at replay with a dedicated replay official, and they get 30 seconds. No more 2-3 min with refs trading places and shuttling video back and forth. Look at it, discuss what you saw, and make the call. If you can’t figure it out with 30 sec of review and a 10 second chat, no change
