SWAC SUSPENDS FOOTBALL REFEREES

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southwestern Athletic Conference announced on Wednesday that the entire officiating crew from this past Saturday’s Prairie View A&M and Southern University football game will be SUSPENDED for their next assignment on November 18 between Alcorn State at Jackson State with one official being SUSPENDED for the remainder of the 2017 football season.

After a thorough review, the Conference Office concluded that there was an erroneous call made. The play in question occurred with 12:48 remaining in the fourth quarter on a 21-yard pass that was ruled a touchdown.
