SEC FOOTBALL OFFICIATING CREW SUSPENDED
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (October 21, 2009) -- The officiating
crew from Saturday's Arkansas at Florida football game will be removed
from its next scheduled assignment on Oct. 31 and will not be assigned
to officiate as a crew until Nov. 14, Southeastern Conference
Commissioner Mike Slive announced Wednesday.
"A series of calls that have occurred during the last several weeks
have not been to the standard that we expect from our officiating
crews," said Slive. "I believe our officiating program is the best in
the country, however, there are times when these actions must be taken."
Following each weekend, the conference office reviews games from the
previous week, using video replays as well as interviews with
officials, coaches and administrators.
"While only a few calls have been identified, the entire crew shoulders
responsibility for each play. I have taken this action because there
must be accountability in our officiating program," added Slive. "Our
institutions expect the highest level of officiating in all of our
sports and it is the duty of the conference office to uphold that
expectation."
In addition, there will be an impact on eligibility for post-season bowl assignments for the crew.
