Shaw, the national coordinator of football officials and the SEC’s head of officiating, said last week at the conference spring meetings that eight officials won’t be returning to the SEC this season. One moved on to the NFL and seven either retired or were not retained, Shaw said, declining to elaborate. (Gary McGriff via AP)
