What a joke....every conference except the ACC, SEC, and Big East are using Tivo for this. What do you think so far?

I can't stand it...it's like the NFL in the 80's.

90% of these coaches are complaining because human error is being over ruled. I work high school football and will be the first to admit that hs athletes are getting faster and better and I'm pretty quick myself, but there are some guys that shouldn't even be working jr hi football games because they don't hustle. But Human error or a correctable option. I think that replay is a good thing for these top teir conferences. But to many of the officials use it as a crutch like thier NFL counterparts. Replay should be a supprise to the officials on the field. Plays should not be over turned the majority of the time.

that's part of the problem....you don't have a central governing body. I think it stinks.

I am a stubborn old F#rt and don't like it. Mistakes by the refs are part of the game as much as mistakes by the players. Replay brings too much focus on the refs and slows down the game. At the CU game Sat. We had to sit through three replays on TDs that were obvious.

It's ridiculous....they haven't really tested it before implementing it....half-cocked if you will...and I don't enjoy it.

I don't like it because they still make mistakes even after review. Those for it always say "we just want to get it right..." Well unless we start reviewing after every single play then we can't "just get it right"...Why is getting the TD call at the back of the end zone with a sliver of the players shoe just on or just off the line so important yet the game deciding kick return for a TD getting called back on a really horrible block in the back call isn't? What about the 70 yard game winning TD run that was made possible by a bear hug hold that wasn't called? That isn't "getting it right". Human error is part of all officiating whether it be basketball, baseball, football and every other sport. Just accept it. If there truly were a system that would ensure that we "got it right" 100% of the time I would be all for it but since that is not possible lets quit arbitrarily and subjectively picking a few areas of the game that they want to waste our time trying to correct yet doing so with limited accuracy.

I'm all for human error...baseball has it and no one really complains about it.
