Big 12 Officiating Crew Removed From Next Assignment for Not Enforcing Kickoff Rule in Missouri Win
The Big 12 removed the officiating crew for violating NCAA rules by allowing an illegal punt on a free kick after a touchdown in Missouri's 42-31 win over Kansas, emphasizing accountability.
- A Big 12 officiating crew led by referee Mike McCabe was removed from its next assignment scheduled for Friday, September 12, following the Kansas-Missouri game.
- The removal resulted from the crew allowing Missouri to punt on a free kick after a touchdown, violating NCAA Football Rule 2 Section 16 Article 6 that requires a kickoff.
- The incident happened just before halfway through the first quarter, immediately following Missouri's initial touchdown, resulting in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that moved their kickoff back.
- Scott Draper, who oversees football operations and competition for the Big 12, emphasized the league’s confidence in the quality of its officiating program and reiterated its commitment to taking corrective measures when officiating standards fall short.
- The incident highlights the Big 12's enforcement of officiating standards and suggests increased scrutiny for future games to maintain rule compliance.
