Dismiss Ed Hightower and end poor Big Ten officiating

"Ruining Big Ten Basketball. The game focus should not be on him but healthy competition. Flexing his "ref" muscles on nationan TV only makes him look stupid and the Big 10 stupid for keeping him around."

"No one is less qualified"

"Ed Hightower is one of the worst referees I've ever seen and has no business determining games and making himself the center of attention. He should never be used by the big ten."

"Terrible"

"I love Wiscydick. Spartan ass is pretty okay too."

"add valentine, burr, hillary fire them all"

"Fire...Hightower...NOW!!!!!"

"do the same for Big 10 replay officials in football"

"Not only does Hightower officiate poorly but some teams appear to be a target of bias."

"Penn St, Iowa, Wisc losses... refs cost us all three"

"I can't possibly see how Ed is fair in calling a game. I know fouls will called but they need to be called to same way for both teams. I don't see Ed or his crew doing that."

"Finally logged on and did a search after 3 years of wondering if I was the only one that is amazed at his calls. Apparently not."

"EFF YOU HIGHTOWER"

"I support this petition"

"CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Hightower is not just a poor officiator, but also lets his bias show through"

"I went on the internet to see if there was anything about Ed Hightower who is the worst referee I have ever seen. Sure enough, here is this petition. Who is protecting him and why?"

"I support this petition"

"Fire him. Then kill him. (Reverse order okay.)"

"I support this petition"

"Seriously, the guy is awful"
