Big 12 says Oklahoma State game is final, cannot be overturned

Mike Gundy

The Big 12 has issued a statement regarding the controversial ending to the Oklahoma State-Central Michigan game on Saturday, and it doesn’t spell good news for the Cowboys.

In the statement, Big 12 head of officiating Walt Anderson cited a rule saying the outcome of the game is final and cannot be overturned.

The officials in the game incorrectly allowed Central Michigan a final untimed play at the end of the game where the Chippewas scored to win 30-27. The play should not have been allowed because an intentional grounding penalty by Oklahoma State on the previous play should have ended the game, per NCAA rules (more on that here).

Even the MAC officials doing the game said afterwards that they made a mistake. Despite the error, the Big 12 is saying the outcome of the game will not be changed.

Oklahoma State is now 1-1 after the loss.
