A procedural error in last
Saturday’s college football game between Kansas and Missouri will cost a Big 12 officiating crew its next assignment.
The mistake occurred during the wild second quarter of the game eventually won by Missouri 42-31. The Tigers scored a safety on a sack and offensive fumble recovery in the
Kansas end zone. Instead of a free kick from the 20-yard line, the Jayhawks punted the ball. This was a violation of Rule 2 Section 16 Article 6 of NCAA Football,
the Big 12 said in a statement. The entire crew has been removed from its next assignment scheduled for Friday, Sept. 12, the league announcement said.
