Western Michigan Public Safety posts joke about Big Ten football officials

The Western Michigan University Public Safety Department published a social media post regarding NCAA Big Ten Officials following the Michigan football victory over Western Michigan on September 5. The department posted a mock crime log entry labeling the officials as suspects in a robbery at Michigan Stadium. This message was a response to a controversial officiating decision in the final seconds of the game that allowed Michigan a second opportunity at a game-winning pass. The university police department clarified that the entry was intended as a joke and not an actual law enforcement record or warrant request. While the play drew criticism, athletic officials at Western Michigan have stated they do not intend to dwell on the result. The Western Michigan football team prepares for its next game against Monmouth University on September 12 at Waldo Stadium.
