The Pac-12 announced Wednesday that conference athletic directors have endorsed changes to the conference’s instant replay procedures following a missed targeting call in last month’s USC-Washington State game that occurred after an unauthorized Pac-12 administrator intervened with conference replay officials to overturn the original penalty.
The conference also said that it will discipline Pac-12 personnel who interfered in the replay review process and those responsible for crafting the procedures that allowed it to happen.
Pac-12 general counsel Woodie Dixon called in to the Pac-12′s replay center in San Francisco during the Sept. 21 game and lobbied replay officials there to overturn what was going to be a targeting call on Washington State’s Logan Tago after a helmet-to-helmet hit on USC quarterback JT Daniels.
