As for this past weekend in St. Louis, there is absolutely no excuse for what happened to Nick. Those officials should be removed from calling SEC games, period. The problem with that would mean the conference would have to fire or suspend them. If they did that, then they are admitting those REF's were wrong and that leaves them open to a lawsuit as well as public scrutiny.
"Forget" to provide security escort, or to clear the path for their van, the next time they throw a game. A hair raising escape from angry fans, and the promise of a repeat, will go a long way to evening out the calls.

More responsible answer: ask for what you want behind the scenes, which will be denied in banal corporate speak. Find a way to make officials have to "run the guantlet" thru our fans after games. When the league demands we change that....repeat their banal corporate speak back to them word for word. The message will get across, with full deniability, to both the league and the officials.
