I'll weigh in here.
Football announcers in both college and the NFL in today's world are far more knowledgeable about rules than they have ever been in my lifetime. They are also more supportive of officiating than they have ever been.
The three announcing crews I regularly work with are incredibly strong on their knowledge of the rules, which (fortunately?) minimizes the times I need to speak.
Sometimes the rules get very complex and announcers do get it wrong, but sometimes the officials, including Replay, get it wrong and announcers are obliged to point it out especially when rules are involved rather than real-time judgments.
Judgments are always open for debate, but as I said, today's announcers are very deferential to judgments by officials and almost always extremeley fair.
If Commissioner Sankey and the SEC believe announcers are treating SEC officiating unfairly, I would suggest reaching out and working with their broadcast partners on rules/officiating would be far more effective than a broadside attack such as this.

What would Aaron Murray know about football? Or the rules analyst Sankey was unhappy with who was the coordinator of SEC officials for years?
Greg Sankey’s comments were mostly in reference to analyst Aaron Murray, who commented on the officiating in the Texas-Mizzou game while on air covering Oklahoma-Florida, TV industry sources tell @cbssports.

Ask yourself. If Santana banner picks that ball up off the turf and trots into the end zone giving Missouri a 27-13 lead. What does the replay review rule??

I know I’m an idiot but I have no idea how Arch Manning got away with an intentional grounding as they say he threw it in the area of #0 Raleek Brown

Completely unbiased take here….
The blatant rigged refs for Texas right now is insanely unfair for Mizzou.
I’ve never seen anything like this so consistently

My challenge to our fans is the same as it is to our team, let’s enjoy last night and then get back to work. For our players and staff it’s preparing for a very good NKU team. For our fans it’s showing up Tuesday night ready once again put the wind at our backs. Best is ahead🤝

My wife is gone til Sunday with her friends on a Girls Trip.
She just texted that our 3-year old has been vomiting the entire car ride.
I wish I could be there to help.
I wish I could be there to offer support.
But Saint Louis and Missouri haven't played in 25 years.

A surgical offensive performance by Saint Louis against Missouri.
Billikens put up 90 in an eight-point win and finish with 24 assists on 33 made field goals while shooting 14/25 from 3-point range.
Tremendous basketball team.

Saint Louis and Missouri have not played head-to-head since December 3rd, 2001.
That's 9,104 days ago!
A tremendous in-state clash happens tonight at Enterprise Center.
America!

The video breakdowns I do after every match are only for open-play goals, but I had so many people ask last night for something, anything, following the USOC Final, so here we go.
The play starts with Daniel Edelman beginning his movement towards the ball, opening his hips slightly as if to shoot right. Tony Meola on the broadcast mentioned this - his body positioning may have led Nico Hagen to go left. You can see Hagen leaning that way just before the shot is made.
But this isn't an analysis of the PK. This is about what came next - Edelman, having just cemented his place in St. Louis soccer lore, uses excellent field vision and awareness to identify that unless he makes a sharp cut to his left, his teammates are going to mob him and prevent him from getting to the other end of the field where thousands of CITY fans awaited him while losing their collective minds.
He points towards the south end, indicating his intended destination, which is read correctly by everyone besides Chris Durkin, who instead of veering right decides to randomly angle across to his left. You would think that as in-sync as Durkelman has been all year he would have read the play bit better, but we'll chalk it up to tiredness.
Damion Downs shows excellent agility here, dodging the now wildly out of position Durkin as he and the rest of the group turn to chase Edelman. Edelman shows a remarkable burst of adrenaline fueled speed after having just played 120' as he races away from everyone WHILE removing his shirt, which would have created extra drag and slowed down anyone else in that moment, roaring past a hugging Tots and Timo who used their veteran savvy to not have to run any more that night.
Only one player seems to have eyes on catching him - a fully rested Fallou Fall, who starts to close the gap before being cut off by more CITY personnel, allowing Edelman to reach his destination inside the opposing 6 yard box after an impressive 385ft run down the field, finishing with a 16.6ft slide right into St. Louis soccer history.
