Excerpt:
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The Big 12 plans to experiment with eight football officials next season, not seven, in a new attempt to keep pace with the game's speed, spot more fouls and better protect players.
Football officiating coordinators in conferences across the country recently approved the Big 12's one-year trial to place an extra official with the referee in the offensive backfield, Big 12 officiating coordinator Walt Anderson said today. The proposal must still be approved by the NCAA rules committee and Big 12 athletics directors and coaches.
