From Josh Pate:
“I would love for someone in the league office to look me in the eye and tell me if Western Michigan was at midfield heaving a prayer up and that exact same set of circumstances were to have played out, that this is the way it would have gone down,” Pate said. “I have been on the phone with several officials and several referees this morning who wanted to make sure that they articulated how much of a [cover your ***] move this is, how big of a pile of garbage that is from the Big Ten league office, and how egregious, like beyond the pale, horrifically bad the machinations of the way that was handled last night were.”
“Hold up, you’re telling me the conference that just this past spring considered issuing a league-wide mandate not to schedule Texas Tech after the Sorsby stuff because of, wait for it, integrity of the game, is expecting me and a skeptical public to believe after two hours and a Canva edit later that they’ve explained away the problem here,” Pate said. “And we’re going to wait two hours after the game. We’re going to tell you guys, no, no, no, no, no, there’s another clock, and it’s a magic clock. And truthfully, we don’t have to tell you where the clock is. We don’t have to tell you who runs it. We didn’t even have to tell you it exists. You’re blessed that we’re even communicating this with you. Transparency, after all.”
