Big East oks replays

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – The Big East will begin using instant replay in football this fall.

The system will debut when West Virginia plays Syracuse on Sept. 3 or 4, depending on ABC’s television plans.

The Big Ten became the first conference to allow replays in the 2004 season. The Mountain West, Atlantic Coast, Southeastern and Pacific-10 conferences also approved instant replays starting in the 2005 season.

The system will feature several on-field cameras, TV cameras for multiple views of plays and a technical adviser to quickly review questionable plays.
