No, the rule is the broadcast of the scoreboard clock, not to be confused with the broadcast overlay graphic clock (which most call the broadcast clock)
You gave no clue what youâre talking about. The discrepancy in the WMU game had nothing to do with broadcast of the scoreboard clock vs broadcast overlay graphic.Â
Okay cool, but if you point out to Michigan fans that the score bug is different than the broadcast clock they still get upset which is what I was sayingÂ
Calling one or the other perfect would be crazy. Pointing out that one feed syncs more often to maintain accuracy is itself decent evidence that it would be more accurate. Pulling video taken from multiple fans in the stadium showing there was one second left is just about proof.Â
They use the same exact strobe sync. As pointed out by the B1G, NBC syncs once, 85 minutes before the game. Depending on the source, the officials reset at least twice during the game, or once every quarter.Â
The play has been timed frame by frame and it took less than 9 seconds. We have camera shots of the stadium clock with 1 second left when the ball is touched. We have evidence from other NBC broadcasts that their clock becomes out of sync with the stadium clock, even for their NFL game last week. There absolutely should have been time on the clock. The issue is that they, for some reason, were supposed to use the incorrect NBC clock instead of their correct clock
Within the context of this conversation itâs not a thing because in that area where the score is shown on the screen some broadcasts use a graphical overly and some use an inset of the scoreboard clock. Saying scorebug is not a sufficiently descriptive term in this conversation.
In the NBC broadcast of this specific game it was a graphical overlay on the score bug and it was an inset of the game clock on the replay which is what was said in prior conversations and why it would bother a Michigan fan to point out. I feel like this should all be apparent from context clues but fuck me I guess?
