Pretty much a regular
This would never happen in any other conference, but no one is surprised it happens in the Pac-12. A suit from the commissioner's office stuck his nose into a review of a targeting call, the official was forced to change his call, and the press found out about it. It's absurd and outrageous but nothing new for the Pac-12.
Scott is by far the dumbest commissioner of any league and this is not the first time outsiders have butted into decisions on a game.
You may recall a few years back when the outcome of a game was changed two hours after the game was over. USC--favored by 8x--won the game by 3 after a late touchdown was disallowed by officials. Two hours later someone--no one is sure exactly who--in the commissioner's office announced they were now going to allow the score, meaning the Trojans covered. It was never explained and sports books were left trying to figure out who to pay. My guess is that some big USC backer had a large bet on the game, but no one knows.
Bottom line, people with a vested interest are still interfering in decisions by officials.
