The Mid-American Conference has suspended the officiating crew involved in Saturday’s controversial Central Michigan-Oklahoma State game.
The MAC said in a statement that the crew will be suspended for two games after they wrongly allowed Central Michigan an untimed play that provided for the Chippewas’ miracle Hail Mary lateral play.

There had to be some sort of repercussion for these officials, particularly after it was clarified that the result could not be overturned. A two-week suspension seems only fair given how badly they got the end of the game wrong, though it will likely be of little consolation to Oklahoma State.
the Big 12 also announced a suspension for the replay crew for missing the chance to declare the game should have ended.
