When you watch the last play you pick up the improbability of the event....and realize "there must have been a few flubs".

With the review of film showing there were multiple infractions of the rules...and it was the last play, why does Duke lose? Wouldn't it be more exciting / fair if a body of NCAA / Power 5 AD's reviewed the video and reached a decision (i.e. Miami didn't score because of all of the infractions / penalities that should have been called).

This reminds me of the travesty when RU was playing St. John's / the fascist ref known as Higgins (?) ruled the game was over when clearly RU had about 1.5 seconds to play and a chance to win the game.

These errors are egregious, inequitable and make both casual fans as well as die hards believe that there is more to sports than "w's" .....it's also about "$".
