Nov. 15, 2023 To: Al Riveron, ACC Supervisor of Football Officials ARiveron@theacc.org CC: Woody McCorvey, Chief of Football Admin. wmccorv@clemson.edu CC: Ashley Spiers, Executive Assistant to Dabo Swinney aspiers@clemson.edu CC: Graham Neff, Director of Athletics neffg@clemson.edu Subj: The 2 UNCALLED HEAD-HEAD TARGETING HITS on Clemson’s Will Shipley
Dear Al, I am totally beside myself in disgust at the 2 UNCALLED Head-to-Head TARGETINGS against Clemson’s RB WILL SHIPLEY in the Oct28/NC-St & Nov11/GATech games.
It just makes me SICK that these were ignored my the Field and The Booth – and subsequently BY YOU.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
Why no public Apology press release by you expressing your sorrow and dedication to make changes so this NEVER happens again?
We are talking about our PLAYERS’ LIVES. If I had the ability to fire you, I would do so immediately.
Sincerely, xxxxxx ----------- WILL SHIPLEY on the 2 UNCALLED TARGETINGS (w/VIDS) that hurt him in this 11-11-23 GA Tech game, and another one in the 10-28-23 NC State game. UNCONSCIONABLE why the ACC Ref guys up in the booth did nothing about these (either one), even if the on-field refs missed them – they see the same TV replays that we do. -------- WILL SHIPLEY 11-14-2023 INTERVIEW: (links to Targeting Vids below) “…I understand that I chose to play football and it’s violent & very physical. But, I try to protect myself to the Nth degree. And when something like that happens, really the past 2 big ones [NC State + GA Tech], they were direct head-to-head contacts, and not too much I can do about it, getting hit to the back of the head. And so, that’s where you saw the frustration come from: understanding that everybody has a responsibility on the field. For me, it’s laying my life down on the line for my brothers and those people beside me. And for them [REFS], it’s to protect the players on the field”. https://youtu.be/pmKMcX48Gns -------- ——-Here they are: 1. Oct28: SHOT TO HEAD by NC State’s SHYHEIM BATTLE TARGETING NOT CALLED. https://youtu.be/EtyCr_7HR5k&t=36m24s ———- 2.

The thing that bothers me most about Refereeing is, they don’t seem to answer to anyone, ever.
What other multi-billion dollar businesses answer to no one? It’s a banana republic dictator mentality.
Coaches answer. Players answer. AD’s answer. Even college Presidents and sometimes BOT’s answer.
Officials??? Silence…….with an extra large dose of entitled omnipotence.
The customers, the consumers, the people that pay for this multi-billion dollar business are left to draw their own conclusions, because the people in charge (officials) can’t be bothered to answer a straight forward question like, “what was that”?
Well, if you leave me to draw my own conclusions, no problem. Here ya go.
1. The officials don’t care. 2. The officials don’t care that they don’t care. 3. The officials are corrupt and they won’t explain their actions, because their actions would implicate them in a crime, such as bribery and game fixing.
