Well, at least Shaw has now addressed the question twice in public. He has said first that they are concerned with the officials not being able to get into position and getting no break for a blow between plays and they are actively studying remedies. Second, he's said that, if the SEC adds an eighth official, it will not be to speed up the game but will be for the purpose making sure the rules are enforced. If he's saying this publicly, then I'm sure it's being conveyed privately to the officials. Finally, I'm still being misunderstood. I detest watching HUNH. However, from their position, it's their sole chance at achieving relevance, so I understand why their fans are advocating it, regardless of how I feel about it...
