Mike Holder Calls Ending of OSU-CMU Game ‘Incomprehensible’

Well you knew the Big 12 would not take a stand. And it didn’t. That doesn’t mean Mike Holder is taking this loss sitting down though. Oklahoma State’s athletic director went guns up on anyone who would listen with the following statement on Saturday afternoon following Oklahoma State’s 30-27 loss to Central Michigan.

Holder was referencing the play CMU got at the end of the game that it apparently should not have gotten.

“We had conversations with everyone that could help us understand the situation and do something about the outcome.  We were told the result is final and there is nothing we can do about it.  In my mind, it is incomprehensible that a misapplication of the rules after time has expired can’t be corrected.”

#OKstate More Mike Holder: "The final score shows that Oklahoma State lost the game but that doesn’t mean that I have to agree with it.”

So it sounds like this one is going to linger for a while. Good on Holder for standing up to something that he sees as silly and unfair. Doesn’t mean it’s going to change, but that’s what you’re supposed to to as the AD.
