The $1.5 million payout detail really changes the whole dialog. Knowing the number affects the way you look at the jokes about “cashing the check before you appeal.”

Your point about the reversed-teams question is the real heart of it though. If WMU were the power conference team here, would we even have had this review? That's the one that never gets a clean answer.

The Galarraga comparison is perfect too, some results just go into the “sports history” file regardless of how unfair they may have been at the time. Thanks for coming back to this one 🏈
