Sources: College Basketball Referees Disciplined For Unauthorized Web Access

Several college basketball referees, including one "prominent Big Ten official, have been disciplined for accessing unauthorized information on a refereeing software website," according to sources cited by Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com. Sources said that log-in information to BlueZebraSports.com -- an officiating website whose "clientele includes many of the Division I college basketball conferences -- was compromised and passed on to several officials." Those officials "had the ability to access secure information such as game schedules and compensation of other officials." One source said that each conference "had its own tailored setup." Sources said that referee Bo Boroski, who "officiated the NCAA tournament this past season and also did the Big Ten tournament semifinals each of the past two years, will not work any game assignments in the league this season because of the violations." BlueZebra Sports is "used by the Big Ten, ACC, Pac-12, Big East and Mountain West" (ESPN.com, 10/30).
