To be honest, I was barely watching the Nebraska basketball game last night against Ohio State. I had it on, but it was muted as I was running back and forth trying to convince my son that he better eat his dinner and that no, chicken nuggets will not be an option.
He did not eat his dinner. I’m not sure if that’s a win or not.
But as I finally sat down to watch the last 4:30 minutes of the game while on mute I couldn’t help but feel that the two sides were officiated differently. Bumps on one end were getting called fouls and bumps on the other end were no calls.
I for one generally try and be as objective as possible when it comes to officiating. It drives my wife and my friends insane. However, last night something just seemed different on each end of the floor.
Then Arbitrary Analytics (a Husker based account) dropped this last night.
I don’t think it is anything that is biased against Nebraska. I believe this is a problem throughout the entire conference. It’s difficult to win on the road and I think the officiating might have something to do with it.

Indictment of Florida journalist raises troubling questions – Columbia Journalism Review
In May of 2023, agents from the FBI showed up at Tim Burke’s home in Tampa and seized several computers, hard drives, his cellphone, and other equipment that he uses as a freelance journalist. As I wrote for CJR, the reasons for the seizure were unknown at the time, because the affidavit the FBI used to justify the search was sealed. (It was later partially unsealed so Burke could see it for the purposes of his defense but has not been made public.) In an interview with me in 2023, Mark Rasch—Burke’s lawyer, and a former prosecutor with the Department of Justice—said the government seemed to believe that Burke somehow gained unauthorized access to a server and downloaded content he didn’t have explicit permission to access or copy. The problem, Rasch said, is that this description would also cover a wide range of normal journalistic activity.
