SEC will try wireless communication for football officials in 2012

"We see great promise in this," said Steve Shaw, SEC coordinator of officials.My goal is to have a better product of officiating on the field, and I think this is a tool that will help us get there."

This system could be a game changer in the way we communicate on the field. Communication is paramount in football officiating. - Brad Freeman SEC – Field Judge

Once our crew settled in with the system, we really missed it when we did not use it.Overall, I was pleased with the system. -Tom Ritter - SEC Referee

The system far exceeded my expectations. During the year, 30 of 31 officials that tried it found great value in the system. My game time went from 2:43 in 2011 to 2:18 in 2012

Aaron West - Centennial Conference Referee

I truly believe that this system will be part of officiating in the future. Rosie Amato – MEAC Coordinator of Officials
