Though the Big East admitted its officials made a mistake in awarding a critical extra point to Syracuse in its win over Toledo, the victory stands for the Orange.

Toledo athletic director Mike O'Brien had asked for the win to be vacated and given to the Rockets because of the mistake, which may have impacted the outcome of the game. But the NCAA rulebook states that once a game is declared over, the score is final and there is no recourse to change the outcome.

MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said in a statement: "I share the frustration and regret with our Toledo coaches, student-athletes, administration and supporters of the Rockets football program. Immediately following the game, Bill Carollo, Coordinator of Officials of the Midwest Football Officials Alliance (MAC, Big Ten, Missouri Valley), reviewed the play and was in contact with Big East Coordinator of Officials, Terry McAuley, and both officials agreed that the ruling on the field and replay official both failed to make the correct call.

"As disappointing as this situation is, we are confident that proper action will be taken by the Big East Conference.”

The Big East had no further comment Monday on the error, which came with 2:07 left in the game. Officials on the field ruled an extra-point attempt from Ross Krautman to be good though it went wide. Video replay upheld the ruling on the field. Toledo ended up tying the score to send the game into overtime, but Syracuse won 33-30. Big East officials worked the game both on the field and in the replay booth.

O'Brien said in a statement the Rockets had accepted the ruling and were moving on with the remainder of the season.

"We appreciate the efforts of those who looked into this matter," O'Brien said. "We consider the matter closed and now look forward to the remainder of the Rocket football season."
