NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The NCAA’s FBS Oversight Committee admitted that the replay process during Western Michigan's season opener against Michigan was mishandled, leading to an incorrect result.
- The committee confirmed that instant replay protocols were not properly followed on the second-to-last play, which would have altered the game's outcome if applied correctly.
- Despite acknowledging the error, the NCAA stated that game outcomes cannot be appealed or changed once the game has officially ended.
- This admission supports the widespread belief that Western Michigan was effectively the rightful winner of the game, even though the official result remains unchanged.
