The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference on Friday suspended three football officials for one game after making inaccurate calls during Norfolk State's game against Bethune-Cookman on Sept. 22 in Norfolk. The Spartans won the game 38-31.

In the game, B-CC was penalized on three offensive plays for blocking below the waist, as well as two pass interference calls, one on offense and one on defense. Earlier this week, Bethune-Cookman University President Dr. Trudie Kibbe Reed voiced her concerns and asked the conference office to evaluate the matter. In addition, head coach Alvin Wyatt submitted a tape of the plays in question to the conference office.

An evaluation of the plays were made by the conference office and determined that the calls were incorrectly made against the Wildcats.
