Thinking about the horrible officiating by the B12 crew Friday night, I was wondering if we get AAC refs for the away games at SEC and B12 games??
If there are no repercussions for such horrible officiating by the the away team's conference crew, why can't the AAC refs give us some of those breaks against TCU and TAMU.

I wondered why a Big 12 crew officiated last week---is that normal?

I think the refs are always from the visiting team's conference.

I think that is for bowl games. I think that the conference for the visiting team provides the officials in an effort to even things out.
Of course, having Big 12 refs proved to be part of our downfall.

I think it's part of the contract for the game who provides the refs. No set rule. I remember
when the ref crew would be split between the 2 conferences in intersectional games.

Don't think the refs will be a problem in these 2 games
