This is what we need to start doing to these apologies:

Sounds like the NCAA is about to issue a statement

Apology is better than nothing. I have lived through a horrendous number of bad calls, never ISU had an apology until this year. Maybe something is changing. It is the privileged schools that almost always get the favorable end of these calls. What I would really like is for them to just call the game, not call the privilege.
Where can you get a coffee for a dollar? I spend too much on coffee and that would help me out.

My reply for Greg Anthony: Yes, all of those people make mistakes. I get that. Those mistakes affect the opportunity differently:
1. A coach's mistake doesn't take away their opportunity to make a play. It means that the coach failed to capitalize on the opportunity.
2. A player's mistake doesn't take away their opportunity to make a play. It means that they had the chance and failed to get it done.
3. The ref mistakes take away opportunities. No guarantee that Will makes the FT, but he was robbed of the opportunity, and had the opportunity for the 2 deleted from the scoreboard.
We get upset about ref mistakes because they deny and take away opportunities for coaches and players to succeed or fail. It's a different kind of mistake.
I know of a place where you can get 20oz of coffee for less than 2.50...or 12oz for 1.70....
How most fouls are a judgement call. The NCAA just needs to change the charge rule and stop rewarding teams for getting beat on D.
If you talk with reasonable KU fans, especially on reddit, 90% realize that they were gifted one there.
It was very hard to see in realtime TV. Would a review of that do any good? The refs get a small TV to look at, no zoom or slowmo.
Tre4ISU has also issued a statement:
"While we understand and appreciate that the NCAA and Big 12 acknowledges our ruthless ****ings of this year, we would like to extend our sincerest **** you to officiating. We would also like to thank each official that made or in some cases didn't make these awful calls, for the deprivation of perhaps great success. It has truly been an honor to give KU the Big 12 championship and OSU, a probable Final Four berth."
