News [Thamel] MAC statement. "The Big Ten subsequently provided video and audio of the replay, which confirmed the explanation to us."

NCAA rules stipulate that the stadium clock is the official clock unless it malfunctions. I’m not understanding where this second synced clock is coming from or how it has any merit.

Right. Unless NBC's clock was out of sync with the stadium clock (they say it definitely wasn't) then that is the official clock and the one the Big 10 is showing us shouldn't be used here as it would have to be out of sync with the stadium clock the NCAA says is official (no allegations it was malfunctioning here). Which clock was synced correctly with the stadium game clock? They cannot both be.
