Interesting POV on the Michigan fiasco.
Author Lyra Sharma is not your typical football commentator. She brushes off the
egregious refereeing, then throws
Michigan under the bus.

Here is a simple thought experiment: Would WMU have received an extra second if roles reversed?
The obvious answer is no, there would not even have been a review. It's corrupt, plain and simple.

Not only that, but more time should have run off the clock earlier.
On the first play after the touchback, there were somehow 26 seconds on the clock after the extended scramble and incomplete pass. Go back and watch it - there's no way. They also ignored a clear Holding.
On the 2nd play, they added a second back on the clock to make it 19 seconds instead of 18.
We, of course, know what then happened on the final play. And regardless of whether you buy the Big Ten's official statement on the Review Process, there is no possible way that the standard of "Indisputable Evidence" applied here. Zero chance.
