I hate when people post inaccurate information.
First, the USATF does not select the officials. The NCAA Track & Field Committee selects all head officials from a list of approved and highly trained professionals. These head officials are assigned to organize the crew put together from the host institution, and those officials may or not be USATF certified.
Second, why are we automatically assuming that there was a mistake? There is a question that perhaps a mistake was made, but we do not know. So those coming on here saying that Florida was robbed do not know that for a fact. Until I see some definite proof I will withhold judgement.
There have been enough incredible athletic achievements over the years by athletes that it is within the realm of possibility the Kansas kid could have just got ahold of one throw and put it out there.
