“At the end of the day, there needs to be more transparency about the NFL’s replay review procedures. The status quo diminishes trust in the league. Fans want to get the calls right, sure. But there needs to be formalized rules to achieve that end. Right now, the whole thing seems haphazard, which is unacceptable for the most popular sports league in the country.” (from the third hyperlink in the article)

It seems like the NCAA policy of reviewing every scoring play and potential turnover is the way to go. I know the NFL doesn’t want their games to last 3 1/2 hours, but surely that won’t happen very often.

The NFL already reviews every turnover and scoring play.  They don't automatically review non-turnovers that might have been or non-scores that might have been.
