Jon Steinbrecher Is Asking The CFP To Overturn Tony Petitti

from Menace2Sports with Zach Smith · host Zach Smith

The Michigan-Western Michigan "Clockgate" controversy just got a lot more serious. In this episode, we break down MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher's formal appeal to the NCAA and College Football Playoff, asking both bodies to recognize Western Michigan as the actual winner over Michigan in Week 1. We cover why Steinbrecher reversed course after initially accepting the Big Ten's explanation, what the conference's replay protocol dispute actually comes down to, and why there's no real mechanism to overturn a final result — even if the appeal has a case. Topics covered: Jon Steinbrecher, Tony Petitti, Michigan football, Western Michigan, Clockgate, Big Ten football, College Football Playoff, Big Ten officiating.
