Why didn't Sheldon provide his references for sports statistics to his dad and meemaw?
Why didn't Sheldon provide his references for sports statistics to his dad and meemaw so they could (try to) learn it on their own?
Wherever Sheldon read about punting on fourth or whatever could be read by his dad (I guess) sooooo.........
Perhaps they couldn't learn the maths but at least they can know (perhaps not understand or interpret) the results.
I imagine a related question for Bernadette's dad, but I don't quite remember the episode at the moment.
A - it's a sitcom. There would be no plot otherwise
B - bclc overlooked something.
C - other

Statistics is not a cup of tea for everyone. You have to gather numerical data, then classify and analysis them in order to interpret the possible outcome.
From Wikipedia,
Statistics is a branch of mathematics dealing with the collection, classification, analysis, interpretation of numerical facts, for drawing inferences on the basis of their quantifiable likelihood (probability) of data.
For statistics, you must be good at Maths. Also, as @AnkitSharma mentioned, Sheldon has to gather data and process it in order to interpret the possible outcome for every game, which won't be an easy thing to do for Meemaw and Sheldon's father.
