After a trial by the Big Ten Conference last season, instant replay will make its Memorial Stadium debut Sept. 3.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said Kansas will use instant replay in its three non-conference games against Florida Atlantic, Appalachian State and Louisiana Tech.
It will also be used in all Big 12 Conference games.
The Big 12 instant replay system is similar to the system used by the Big Ten last season.
The following will be features of instant replay in the Big 12 Conference:
Instant Replay will be used in all Big 12 games and non-conference games with consent of opponent
Replay official will determine if there is indisputable evidence to overturn the call on the field
The replay official will make the decision, in coordination with an alternate game official and the on-field referee
Estimated budget for implementation is $650,000 to $700,000

“We monitored the Big Ten experiment,” Bob Burda, Big 12 assistant commissioner, said. “We owe it to our fans, athletes, coaches and member schools to correct the correctable.”
Burda said that according to NCAA replay guidelines, only plays that involve factual disputes would be eligible for replay. Plays involving judgements by officials, such as penalties, would not be eligible for replay.
The Big 12 instant replay system involves the following steps:
All reviews will be initiated by the replay official stationed in the press box. The replay official has until the ball has been snapped for the next play to decide if the previous play is reviewable.
The game referee will be notified by a page by the replay official that a play is under review. The referee will then make an announcement that a play is being reviewed.
The replay official, in coordination with the on-field referee and an alternate official, will determine by a video if there is indisputable evidence to overturn the call made on the field. A decision by the replay official will be relayed to a referee on the field.
Conference games that won’t be televised will be produced by Fox Sports Net, using four cameras for replay purposes.
Burda said that Tim Millis, Big 12 Supervisor of Officials, had coordinated training between Big 12 officials and officials from the Big Ten and the NFL.
Bill Callahan, former NFL coach and current Nebraska coach, said that while he supports the Big 12 system, he would like to see coaches be able to challenge calls made on the field, like in the NFL.
“I know I would like to have a red flag in my pocket for a game-changing decision,” Callahan said, in reference to the NFL replay system.
Burda said that because of the configuration of stadiums in the conference, it may not be possible for officials on the field to view the video replays. He said that such decisions would be made on a case-by-case basis depending upon the school.
