To me this sounds like the NCAA dropped the ball in this situation. Maybe I’m wrong but to me the NCAA needs to do a thorough background check on each official to avoid any potential conflicts of interest when assigning officials to games.

Even if the NCAA dropped the ball, the official should have alerted the NCAA that they had a Masters from the school they will officiate.
