NCAA says Michigan-Western Michigan result 'would have been different' if replay protocols were followed

The NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision oversight committee acknowledged that replay protocols were not properly followed during the conclusion of Western Michigan's Week 1 game against Michigan. According to the committee, the final 13-12 result of the game would have been different if the proper protocols had been adhered to.

Despite confirming these procedural errors, the committee stated that it lacks the regulatory authority to overturn the outcome of the game. Additionally, the committee confirmed that no time should have been added prior to the Wolverines' game-winning Hail Mary play.
