There are a lot of bad things about the Pac-12 Conference dying, but Pac-12 refs creating anger among fans and coaches is not one of them.

We really do feel bad for Oregon State, Washington State, Pac-12 Network employees, and the many, many other people who are being negatively affected by the Pac-12’s splintering and implosion. It’s terrible, and it would have been far better if it had never happened. However, Pac-12 refs drawing the ire of USC coach Lincoln Riley on Saturday night reminded every USC fan why the Trojans are heading to the Big Ten, and why the Pac-12 has had such bad leadership over the years, with an inability to improve the quality of football officiating within the conference.

A ridiculously long and unnecessary replay review late in the game had everyone grumbling, and it’s worth reminding ourselves why the Trojans are heading to a new conference … and why the Pac-12 is on its deathbed:

NICE AND CIVIL

ABSURD, INDEED

THEY EVEN MADE TED ROBINSON MAD!

WE JOKE, BUT YOU KNOW PEOPLE WERE THINKING ABOUT THIS

THEY'RE GONNA DO WHAT THEY DO

NOT ONE SOUL

CLOCKWORK

TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME

VERY HARD

SAID EVERYONE

UNIQUE SKILL

FACT

UNANIMOUS

GOING OUT WITH A BANG

MIDSEASON FORM

AS WE WERE SAYING

OUCH

LEAVING AN IMPRINT

STUNNER

MAYBE
