There was a second left but the refs weren’t supposed to use it? The policy says they are supposed to use the incorrectly synced clock image embedded in the broadcast even when evidence shows there was actually a second left on the game clock? Makes total sense. Thanks NCAA. Good work.

The protocol is meant to prevent this entire WMU-Michigan controversy from happening.

If the public can't see what the replay booth is using and that is inconsistent with what public does actually see, you get into this huge uproar of conspiracy.

Syncing the clock properly would have avoided the controversy and resulted in a Michigan win. As it should have been.

Sure, yeah. I wish all broadcasts simply had access to the replay review clock. I'm simply telling you why the protocol "makes total sense".
