It doesn’t seem that the Michigan Wolverines’ win over the Western Michigan Broncos is going to change.
MAC commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher issued an appeal to the NCAA, saying that the replay protocol was not followed. This came days after Michigan was given one more second, which led to a Hail Mary touchdown pass that gave the Wolverines the stunning 13-12 win in Ann Arbor.
However, the appeal isn’t going to work after the NCAA released a statement on Tuesday evening.
“NCAA football playing rules do not have a protocol for overturning the outcome of a game. Cites Rule 1-1-3-b Winning Team and Final Score. Also: The DI Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight Committee also does not have the authority to overturn the outcome of a game.”
