The rule defeats the purpose of replay, i.e., to get the damn call right. Although they might have been right in not reviewing it, it's still such a stinking call and the ref was either out of position to make the call -- which means he should've asked for help -- or he ignored where Tyler was on the field -- which means he should be suspended. To have an obviously blown call go uncorrected on national TV is a huge embarrassment for the MAC.
It doesn't in this case. The ref & replay booth just screwed it up. Article 1.a says, "Review the score, unless the score is the result of a penalty." Article 6 says, "Even though Article 1.a says you can't review the score since it was the result of a penalty, you can review the score if it's the result of an egregious error. You just can't review whether there actually was a penalty."
The correct result, which replay should have confirmed, was, "Intentional Grounding, Number 4, offense, Spot Foul, Loss of Down. 4th down, Ohio." Instead, Captain Derp and the Derp-a-rinos decided, "Hey, let's get this game over with so we can make it to the casino before midnight, cash out our bets on Buffalo -4, and then it's craps til the sun comes up! Wooooooo, Buffalo! I love this town!"
Screw this ref crew.
