Referees are always under a microscope, but Danny Kanell is getting even more concerned about not just the future of officiating, but the future of college football.<\/p>\n

The call that got Kanell to the point where he was like \u201cThat’s it; I’m tweeting this!\u201d happened in this weekend’s Iowa State-Baylor game.<\/p>\n

The moment that got Kanell’s goat was an unnecessary roughness call against the Cyclones.<\/p>\n

\n

He makes a solid point. Let’s look no further than the rest of that same game between Baylor and Iowa State that Kanell was watching. <\/p>\n

Why? That unnecessary roughness penalty was just one of the questionable calls in that game.<\/p>\n

Here was another one: a block below the waist called against Iowa State.<\/p>\n

\n

That call wound up turning a great play into a Baylor first down.<\/p>\n

Do you know who probably wasn’t happy about that call? Danny Kanell.<\/p>\n

Do you know who I can show<\/em> you wasn’t happy about that call? Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell.<\/p>\n

\n

Aaaaand then there this was this targeting call:<\/p>\n

\n

So, it sure seems like Kanell has a point that not only are some officials making calls that make the game softer, but they’re also just making flat-out bad calls regularly.<\/p>\n

I mean, again, all of those happened in a single game!<\/p>\n

Whether or not you agree with Kanell, don’t expect too much to change on the officiating front any time soon.<\/p>\n
