Message: [QUOTE="CuseCPT, post: 4533779, member: 645"] I was going to link a study on officiating bias in college football and I actually found a different one. Look at this gem from the results section: [I]As with the game-level effects, the ACC shows more evidence of bias in its team-level effects than the other conferences. The ACC results demonstrate bias by penalizing teams with high football prestige less than their low prestige counterparts – a curious finding given the bias against the stronger football programs of the day. One explanation for this would be ACC officials protecting traditionally strong football programs while penalizing the more recently successful more. Supporting this notion, [B]there is evidence of ACC officiating favoritism towards teams that have been in the league longest[/B] (founded in 1953) and more frequently flagging teams that are newer to the conference: Georgia Tech (1978), Florida State (1991), University of Miami (2004), Virginia Tech (2004), and Boston College (2005). Current ACC members Pittsburgh, Syracuse, and Louisville were all added after the sample period ended in 2012.[/I] Source: [URL='https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303326028_Referee_Analytics_Bias_in_Major_College_Football_Officiating#:~:text=Conferences%20entrust%20college%20football%20referees%20to%20impartially%20officiate,the%20management%20and%20oversight%20of%20college%20football%20referees.'] https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303326028_Referee_Analytics_Bias_in_Major_College_Football_Officiating#:~:text=Conferences%20entrust%20college%20football%20referees%20to%20impartially%20officiate,the%20management%20and%20oversight%20of%20college%20football%20referees.[/URL] I would loooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee to see this study updated.
