SEC's suspension of officiating crew is the proper response to the Arkansas-Florida game

Being a Big Ten fan, I loathe the SEC.

But for once they got it right.

The SEC suspended the officiating crew from the Arkansas-Florida game last weekend.

Why? Because for the second time this season, this same crew blew it. Big time.

A bad personal foul call against Arkansas assisted Florida in its comeback win.

A late unsportsmanlike conduct call in the Georiga-LSU game earlier in the month also affected the result of that game.

This is the first time the SEC has publicly suspended an officiating crew for their performance.
And this time they got it right.
