The Pac-12 Conference is changing its officiating policies and procedures following an external review into its policies and procedures. The conference announced the changes at the start of Wednesday's media day in Los Angeles.
The review was spearheaded by Sibson Consulting and overseen by a subcommittee of Pac-12 athletic directors from Arizona State, Oregon, Oregon State and Colorado.
- The head of officiating will report directly to commissioner Larry Scott and not the football administrator;
- Officials will follow new procedures put forth in a new replay manual;
- Officials will receive new training programs;
- The league will have "more transparency and public comment around significant calls or errors" that impact the results of games or player safety.
