Big 12 Addresses Video Board Illusion Used by Oklahoma State Against University of Texas

By Andrew Cohen 11.5.2020

The Big 12 has deemed the video board graphics used by Oklahoma State during its home game this past Saturday against Texas as “not permissible,” according to Texas coach Tom Herman.

The trickery occurred as Longhorns kicker Cameron Dicker attempted a 40-yard field goal heading into halftime. As the play began, vertical yellow lines flashed on the video board behind the goal posts at Boone Pickens Stadium to distract Dicker’s line of sight. Despite the gimmick, Dicker made the field goal and Texas went on to win in overtime, 41-34.

“I addressed it with commissioner [Bob] Bowlsby and Ed Stewart, the associate commissioner for football, and they assured me that that is not permissible by Big 12 standards and it has been addressed,” Herman said on Tuesday, according to Sports Illustrated.
