Big Ten Addresses Officiating Error and Game Scuffle

The Big Ten Conference will not discipline athletes involved in the postgame scuffle between Michigan and Michigan State, due to inconclusive video evidence. Separately, the Big Ten acknowledged an officiating error during the Nebraska vs. Ohio State game, where Nebraska's Emmett Johnson was incorrectly denied a first down, impacting time management. Although the error was admitted, no further action was taken regarding other controversial calls like missed holding penalties and a lenient sideline warning against Ohio State's coach. Nebraska's coach expressed confusion over the officiating, which affected their strategy before halftime. The incident raised questions about the influence of officiating on the game's outcome, as Nebraska lost 21-17.
