    How do you hold them accountable? It’s an impossible job and they’re still the best in the world at it. There’s no one better to replace them with, and if you try to replace everyone who fucks up you’ll immediately run out of qualified officials.

      By not renewing their contracts, which are year to year. And poorly graded officials don’t get playoff assignments.

      You’re right about these folks being the best, and it took a long time and a lot of effort to get there.

        That’s exactly my point though. College refs are, by and large, even worse than NFL refs. Who do you replace the bad refs with when you don’t renew their contracts?
