ugh the door -- for as high a price as can be reasonably charged -- in order to try and get back some of the money they
STILLWATER, Okla. -- The officiating mistake was a doozy -- and it cannot be fixed. The play that followed was even more astonishing.One of the oddest endings imaginable left Oklahoma State stunned and Central Michigan celebrating.A misinterpreted rule extended the game when it should have been over and allowed the Chippewas to score a wild, winning touchdown on a Hail Mary and lateral -- yes, both! -- that covered half the field for a 30-27 upset of No. 22 Oklahoma State on Saturday.Oklahoma State (1-1) tried to kill the final four seconds of the game by throwing away the ball on fourth down, but the Cowboys were penalized for intentional grounding, which is a loss-of-down penalty. Rules state that the game cannot end on an accepted live-ball penalty, referee Tim ODey of the Mid-American Conference, CMUs league, said.He later admitted there is a situation in which the game can end on an infraction.Theres an exception to the rule that says if enforcement of the foul involves a loss of down, then that brings the game to an end, ODey told a pool reporter.ODey said after conferring with NCAA rules committee secretary Rogers Redding after the game, the crew determined the extension should not have happened.But the final result stood. Article 3b of the NCAA rulebook states: When the referee declares that the game is ended, the score is final.Despite the error, this will not change the outcome of the contest, Bill Carollo, the NCAAs coordinator of football officials, said in a statement released by the MAC.That did not satisfy Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder.We had conversations with everyone that could help us understand the situation and do something about the outcome. We were told the result is final and there is nothing we can do about it, Holder said in a statement. In my mind, it is incomprehensible that a misapplication of the rules after time has expired cant be corrected.Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said in a text to the AP: The game is final and errors can only be corrected during the course of the game. Very unfortunate.Corey Willis scored the winning touchdown after grabbing a lateral from Jesse Kroll at the Oklahoma State 12-yard line and fighting his way into the end zone.Oklahoma State (1-1) thought it had won when Mason Rudolph threw away the ball on fourth down as the clock expired. But it backfired after the officials conferred; they assessed an intentional grounding penalty and gave Central Michigan another play.Thats a tough one. Just so everyone knows, I was the one who called the passing play, said OSU coach Mike Gundy. To be honest with you, I never even thought of intentional grounding being called at that point in the game. As much time as we put into end-of-game situations, that never really crossed my mind. Unfortunately, thats a difficult way to learn a hard lesson.Cooper Rush lofted up a Hail Mary pass that hit Kroll just inside the 10. As Kroll was being taken down, he pitched it back to Willis, who cut across the field and barely managed to score while being dragged down.To be honest, I actually had a missed assignment on that. I wasnt supposed to be right there, but it all worked for the better, Willis said.Coach John Bonamego said: Its an improbable finish, but its a situation that we practiced and rehearsed. We were able to execute and pull out the win.Central Michigan fans might have been having flashbacks to the Bahamas Bowl from two seasons ago, when the Chips covered almost the length of the field on a long pass and lateral play to make it a one-point game with no time left against Western Kentucky. In that fabulous finish, Central Michigan went for 2 and the win and did not convert. This time around, the Chippewas were able to run off with the victory.SYMPATHY FROM THE DEVILSOklahoma State fans were livid, and they can now relate to Duke fans who watched their team lose a game on a multilateral kickoff return touchdown to Miami last season that the ACC later said should not have counted. Or maybe go back to 1990, when officials mistakenly gave Colorado five downs to score the game-winning touchdown against Missouri in the waning seconds.Central Michigan is unlikely to go on to win a national title the way those Buffaloes did, but it will still go down as one of the biggest wins in school history.THE TAKEAWAYCentral Michigan: Never quit on the Chippewas.Oklahoma State: The Cowboys will rightfully be upset by the bad call, but Gundy will be questioned for throwing on his final play.POLL IMPLICATIONSOklahoma State: How do AP voters deal with this? The Cowboys rightfully had the game won. They also allowed CMU to play them toe-to-toe at home when Oklahoma State was a big favorite. So maybe the Cowboys dont drop for the loss as much as for the underwhelming performance?Central Michigan: This is no way to get ranked.UP NEXTCentral Michigan: The Chippewas return home to face UNLV.Oklahoma State: The Cowboys play their third straight home game, hosting Pittsburgh.Cheap Kobe Bryant Shoes .

Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal.

With figures in the billions, it is always wise to proceed with caution. But with last weeks news that Liberty had agreed a $1.55 billion third-party investment deal, the financial arrangements are firming up and Chase Carey called the news a significant step.Taking a look at some of Libertys other business interests, there is real potential to use existing properties to cross-pollinate (so to speak) with Formula One and create healthier profits for both the sport itself and also for the other Liberty businesses involved.The Liberty Media Corporation has three arms: the Liberty Braves Group, the Liberty Media Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group. The three tracking stock groups are split across the fields of media, communications, and entertainment, and include several business that -- in one way or another -- tie into F1, either directly or through the lifestyle elements surrounding F1 and which help keep the high-end ticket sales coming in.The F1 stake is held by the Liberty Media Group, which also happens to hold stakes of less than one percent each of Viacom, Time Inc., and TimeWarner. While those stakes are small, the potential for symbiotic relationships with F1 can be found in each brand. Time Inc.s many properties include Sports Illustrated, for example, and F1 coverage in the popular magazine could help boost interest in the sport in the United States.Time Warner offers opportunities to promote F1 to existing subscribers, hopefully arousing a wider curiosity in the sport among users of their cable networks, while the company could get a reciprocal boost from F1 fans if, in time, their link to the sports owners allows them preferential access to content and promotional materials. Promotional materials that could easily be produced by Viacom, a cross-platform content creator with a global reputation.Whereas CVCs list of other interests involved Samsonite suitcases, the sports incoming owners have at least grouped their F1 interest with related businesses, many of which can be cross-fertilised to improve the growth prospects of all.It is with the LMGs 34 percent stake in Live Nation that things have the potential to get seriously interesting. Whether or not youve heard of Live Nation, odds are that you have used their services in one way or another -- as the worlds largest live entertaiinment company, Live Nation will have promoted the concerts youve attended, managed the artists youve gone to see, and (through their Ticketmaster division, or one of their secondary ticketing arms) sold you the tickets you bought to get in.dddddddddddds a company, Live Nation have been able to strengthen their offering and improve their profits by controlling as many aspects of the entertainment business as possible, making money from performer, consumer, and venue alike. They have also been discussed -- in hushed whispers -- as the future official entertainment partner of Formula One, selling tickets and working with teams and sponsors alike to put together the razzle-dazzle year-round global promotion of the sport we have all been crying out for.In 2015, Live Nation reported $7.2 billion in revenues. It was their fifth successive year of record-breaking growth and revenues, Billboard reported, and represented record 12 percent growth in global gross transaction value [GVT] for a total GVT of $25 billion.If Live Nation does take over the ticket sales and promotion for grands prix around the world, it mean a significant change to the way F1 works.Under the current system, circuits are essentially responsible for promoting their events, and for trying to get as many people through the door -- for as high a price as can be reasonably charged -- in order to try and get back some of the money theyve paid for the privilege of hosting Formula One. Its not a brilliantly successful model from the circuits perspective, whatever the positive impact on FOMs finances...But if Live Nation take over global ticket sales, and circuits sell only those tickets still remaining when time comes to open the gates for the race weekend, new arrangements will have to be drawn up to ensure that circuits are still able to cover some of their costs, as is the case now. Either hosting fees will have to come down, or deals will have to be done regarding shares of on-site advertising revenues (or regional ticket sales, or similar), to ensure that circuits still have a reason to put on an F1 grand prix.At present its all speculation, but now that the purchase process is moving ahead once more, we are standing on the edge of interesting times -- theres a lot of change ahead.
