Four who worked Wake-Purdue game dismissed
PARK RIDGE, Ill. -- The Big Ten Conference dismissed four college football officials Wednesday after determining they did a poor job during a Sept. 21 game between Wake Forest and Purdue.
"During the course of the game, these officials did not officiate well enough to meet Big Ten standards," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said in a statement. "Therefore, they will forfeit future officiating assignments."
A spokesman at the Big Ten's office in Park Ridge would not comment on what specific mistakes the crew made during the game, which Wake Forest won 24-21. Wake Forest is from the Atlantic Coast Conference, and Purdue is from the Big Ten.
An eight-man crew worked the game, and four officials are listed on the Big Ten's officiating staff. They are referee Daniel Capron, linesman Steve Beckman, back judge Scott Buchanan and side judge Don Swanson.
