Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott on Thursday acknowledged that the conference erred in allowing a football administrator to overrule a targeting call last month during a game involving USC and would no longer allow the administrator to influence replay calls.
Scott’s admission came one day after Yahoo Sports revealed that Woodie Dixon, Pac-12 general counsel and senior vice president of business affairs, had overridden what the in-stadium replay officials and replay officials in the Pac-12’s command center in San Francisco had agreed was a targeting infraction by Washington State linebacker Logan Tago during a game last month against USC at the Coliseum.
