The NFL is finally taking action against its inept officiating. On Thursday, Football Zebras reported that the NFL had fired three officials—but with a twist. The three recently hired officials are heading back to college — literally.
From Football Zebras:
The three officials were essentially relegated back to Power conferences in college football, a move that was specifically brokered by George, according to five officiating sources. Previously, officials that have been dismissed were on their own accord to return to collegiate football.
The three officials that the NFL has placed back into the Power 5 conferences are second-year umpire James Carter, third-year line judge Robin DeLorenzo, and first-year down judge Robert Richeson.
