Pac-12 Commish Scott Blames Penalties On "Lots of Offensive Plays"

The Pac-12 Commissioner took to the stage and was immediately asked about the bad officiating in the conference.

This morning, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott took the stage to welcome everyone to the Pac-12 Media Days at Warner Brothers Studios in beautiful, downtown Burbank,

After making his introductory remarks, Commissioner Scott took questions. The first question he was asked was about penalties. Specifically, the question was:

Nine of the 25 most penalized tames last year in FCS were in the Pac-12. There seems to be a perception of overzealousness by officiating crews. I'm wondering if you think it's a case of overzealousness, or if there's a lack of discipline on the teams?
