  "account": "Referees do not have anything to hide. It is time for the NFL and NCAA to showcase live replay reviews on television. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and National Football League (NFL) should provide access to referee audio during replay reviews, just like the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) does. This would eliminate doubts about the fairness of the game and boost fan engagement. Although some people may still claim the game is rigged, airing discussions live would prevent those claims from being mainstream opinions.",
