I think some people need to spend a little more time reading instead of jumping to conclusions. The OP doesn't say anyone is paying the refs. There is a belief out there for many people that the tradition rich programs of the country get the benefits of the calls more times than not. It is not about anyone being paid off. If is a subconscious thing most likely where officials simply have a hard time throwing flags for the exact same things if committed by certain teams. It is almost like the officials think on the one hand that this player is from Alabama, or Texas. or OU, or USC and think the player doesn't have to commit a penalty to be successful. But if a player from lesser programs performs the exact same play there is a subconscious belief in the back of the mind of some officials that they think that player must of done something wrong to gain an advantage.
Has nothing to do with anyone being paid off.
