DETROIT — On Thursday, Mid-American Conference Director of Officiating Bill Carollo, addressed questions about new rules changes, missed calls and player safety during the MAC Football Media Day at Ford Field.
Carollo, who was an NFL referee for nearly 20 years before taking his current position, is also the head of officiating for the Ben Ten and Missouri Valley conferences.
Rule changes
One of then most notable rule changes coming to the MAC this fall is referees will now be able to collaborate with replay officials on making a call. Before, referees had no input on replays, and the determination of the call solely relied on the officials.
