KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — The Mid-American Conference is seeking a different ending for Western Michigan University football after the school’s last-second loss on Saturday against the University of Michigan. 
In a statement Tuesday afternoon, Mid-American Conference Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said that the conference had submitted formal appeals to the NCAA FBS Oversight Committee and the College Football Playoff for WMU to be recognized as the game’s winner.
“The established replay protocol requires that the game clock displayed on the program feed be used in determining whether time remained,” the commissioner wrote. “Instead, the Big Ten Conference replay crew relied upon the clock feed embedded within its replay system. As a result, one second was placed back on the game clock and an additional play was awarded.” 

“Township Supervisor Ben Martin was also granted a raise at the meeting, with his pay increasing from $10,000 to $135,000. That’s because he’s now handling the duties of the elected supervisor and human resources tasks that were handled by the superintendent before he was fired.”

There’s been long infighting leading up to three resignations that will leave the board one member away from not having a quorum.
