Instead of looking closely at the situation and taking the appeal seriously, Carl Benson has taken the Wright Waters approach and rubber stamped the referees decision. You can tell from the film that UL beleived the ejection was unwarranted, therefore, a thorough review of the appeal should have been conducted. I am disappointed that there is no explanation given by the SBC office. As I said previously, the SBC uses officials that are affiliated with several other conferences. The official that made the ejection may not have known it carried at least a one game suspension. It was obvioulsy a heated moment and these officials acted poorly. As a result Justin Hamilton loses a game from his career and we are down a big man for OSU.
I think UL deserved a more rigorous investigation from teh SBC office and an explanation as to why Hamilton was suspended. The reason cannot be "just because a SBC referee said so."
