The Big 12 has suspended a video replay official and a communicator after they failed to follow established replay procedures in a timely manner during Saturday’s Kansas State-Iowa State game, the conference announced Sunday.
Here is a statement from Big 12 Conference supervisor of football officials, Walt Anderson:
“During Saturday’s Kansas State vs. Iowa State football game, with K-State in possession of the ball just prior to the half, an on-field ruling of a completed pass occurred near the pylon at the front of the ISU end zone. By rule, once the ball is legally snapped, review of the previous play is not allowed.
After internal review it has been determined that the video evidence of the play was inconclusive. However, the replay official failed to follow established procedures in a timely manner, which prevented the play from being stopped for review prior to the next snap.
Because of the video review process breach, the Replay Official and Communicator are receiving reprimands and each will receive a one-game suspension for failing to follow proper replay procedures and mechanics.”
