Ken Williamson has just refereed his last game.
A 41-year official, 21 in the top division of college football, 17 in the SEC.
This was supposed to be his last year, so he has just been thrown off the field for good.
He was the crew chief for Georgia vs. Auburn, a 20-10 victory for the Bulldogs.
A performance review was made of the officiating, and Williamson was banned for the rest of the season as a result.
This is usually a one-game situation, maybe two.
This is one of the senior referees in the SEC. This usually isn't more than one game, maybe two.
This SCREAMS malfeasance.
If it were possible (and it is not), this kind of suspension to me indicates this game should be replayed. Eleven different calls were complained about, nine of which substantiated. One of the first turned what would've been a 17-0 Auburn lead to 10-3, at which point Georgia dominated (with probable assistance from Williamson) the second half.
And apparently, there is some talk he has also manipulated the Auburn-Oklahoma game earlier in the season, a 24-17 loss for Auburn.
Criminal investigation, now.
Definitely. And, it's not suprising. Between this and everything else that has been going on, I hope big time pro and college sports destroys itself.
ReplyDeleteBTW, did you see this? Tuohy made a statement about the 2025 NFL season, and he is working on a big project:
The Fix is In: 2025 NFL Season
You may get your wish a lot sooner than you expect.
