Rules Committee Official: OSU Error Shouldn't Prompt Changes

 

The officiating error that gave Central Michigan a last-play chance to beat Oklahoma State Saturday is unlikely to lead to changes in the way officials enforce penalties at the end of games.

Rogers Redding, the former national coordinator of officials who sits on the NCAA's football rules committee, told The Associated Press on Monday that the circumstances that led to the mistake were rare. He said the goal is to have rules that stay consistent throughout the game.

Also Monday, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said he does not want to play future nonconference games without officials from Power Five conferences. Gundy says he'll encourage Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder not to sign a contract unless the officials are from a Power Five conference.
