Unless:

[I]As far as the officiating goes I would have to study the film. The coaches study the film. I suspect that if they would ever have any concerns then they would take those concerns to the proper channels. I in no way believe that the officials are intentionally being unfair to SU. I also know that officials are human and part of that human experience is non-conscious bias. We all experience this form of bias every day of our lives in different situations, and because these processes are implicit we believe no bias is involved. Bias blinds which is to say it shapes our perception so that we see some things and other things we don't see. Football officials are human, and they make complex split-second decisions. I believe the people who manage the officials in any league are well-schooled in the many facets of bias especially the non-conscious implicit processes. This is something they must work on because everyone wants to see fairness on the field. With better awareness officials can learn to reflect better on their own experiences and grow into more open and flexible processing. If any league lacks an understanding of bias then the coaches in that league have the option to work to modify the structure of that monitoring body so that bias is better understood and addressed.
