Bill Carollo apparently decides the final outcome of the OSU-Central Michigan. Who is Bill Carollo? I’m glad you asked. Bill Carollo is the Coordinator of Football Officials for the Collegiate Officiating Consortium – Football (COC) that includes the Big Ten, Mid-American and Missouri Valley Football conferences.
“The Mid-American Conference officiating crew from Saturday afternoon’s Central Michigan at Oklahoma State contest made an error on the final play of regulation,” said Carollo. The crew made a misapplication of the rule and should not have extended the contest with one final play. Despite the error, this will not change the outcome of the contest.
