Some simple stuff you can get used to like assigning interceptions to the wrong team and including return yards (kicks, punts, interceptions) with total offense. But the play-by-play is a mess.

I mostly just use ESPN dot com for that, used to use CBS the same way.
From what I've gathered the issue with a lot of the wonky shit is due to GIGO.
The number of people able to capably & reliably use the software (which I believe is common across the board with all levels of the NCAA now) is probably smaller than the number of people needed to do it.
(I recognize quite a few of the mistakes from my own experiences with stat tracking software, which is basically what generates the pbp)
