CHICAGO -- Penn State got what it wanted. Yet, Joe Paterno is still unhappy.

After last season's public criticism of Big Ten officiating by Penn State football coach Joe Paterno and other coaches in the conference, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said a formal review of the situation has been completed.

"[The review] was done," Delany said. "What we did was benchmarked officiating practices of other division one conferences compared to what we were doing. We went to the NFL and compared against ours. We got all of the coaches into a room and came up with some recommendations."

Delany said in two weeks the Big Ten will hold a press conference and issue a press release on the findings of the comprehensive review of the league's officials.

Unlike previous years, the conference's referees' names are not printed in the Big Ten's media guide for this season. When asked about the omission, Delany said he did not know why the names were not included.

Paterno, one of the coaches who pushed for a formal investigation of the conference's referees said he was unaware the Big Ten was releasing the official report. However, he said it was out of character for him to make his complaint publicly.

"It's not my style [to go public with criticism]; I thought somebody had to say, 'Hey let's take a look,' " he said. "Unfortunately some people took that as a suggestion that we had dishonest officials. I did not intend it to be that."

Paterno said he realizes the officials make mistakes, but he felt some of last year's calls were, in effect, calls that changed the possible outcome of a game, including those in the overtime loss to Iowa and regulation loss to Michigan.

"It was not easy for me to be critical, because I used to say the day I coach a perfect game, then I'll expect officials to officiate a perfect game," Paterno said. "And I have never coached a perfect game."

One solution to the officiating issue is the use of instant replay. Paterno said he has not always been in favor of instant replay, but the last couple of years he has changed his mind.

While he now supports the idea, Paterno said the decision is ultimately in the hands of the athletic directors. Yesterday, he made a reference to an unnamed Big Ten athletic director who opposed the installment of instant replay in college football games.

"I find it very difficult when one particular athletic director gets up who has never played football and says 'I'm a purist'; he's never been with a bunch of kids who have worked their butt off the entire week," Paterno said. "They play their hearts out, and then all of a sudden the game is taken away from them. The only difference about the person I am speaking about is that he has good intentions."
