It has become obvious to most fans of SEC football that conference officials are using referees to decide the outcome of games. The purpose is also obvious: to increase ratings for future featured games. Increased ratings mean increased clout when negotiating money with television networks. This greed is ruining the integrity of the game and is disgusting to fans.

The season is only half over, and three games have already been decided by referees. You have already admitted making a bad, excessive celebration penalty against A.J. Green in the Georgia-LSU game. One bad call is a mistake, but last weekend clearly demonstrated a pattern of bad calls that show this is obviously more than just a coincidental string of bad calls.

The referees also decided the Florida-Arkansas game. During an unnecessary review of the brilliant pass play that put Arkansas ahead 20-13, the referees couldn't find an excuse to steal that play away, so they proceeded to give Florida a touchdown with a phantom interference call, and yet another racist, unsportsmanlike conduct call against Arkansas. Furthermore, the referees didn't call an offensive pass interference against Florida. Even the CBS announcers expressed disbelief over all three of these bogus calls.

The Alabama-South Carolina game too is evidence of your corruption. The reason South Carolina was held to 6 points was because the referees refused to call pass interference and defensive holding against an Alabama defense that was constantly guilty of these infractions.

I know the SEC officials want an undefeated Florida against an undefeated Alabama in the SEC championship game, and they want to guarantee an SEC team in the national championship game, but fixing games is not fair to the players or the fans.

I also want to call to your attention the racist manner in which excessive celebration penalties are meted out. Tim Tebow celebrates excessively every time he makes a first down (as pointed out by CBS sports announcer, Gary Danielson), yet the referees never call it on him. African-American players get called for excessive celebration for nothing (see A. J. Green).

We're asking you to stop fixing these games, or the credibility of the SEC will be comparable to that of phony wrestling.

Sincerely,

Mark Gelbart
