DALLAS — While surprised at the number of plays that have been reviewed this season, Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg said Monday that he was still in favor of instant replay.

The commissioner spoke to reporters at the end of the football coaches teleconference, saying he wanted to address numerous questions that had arisen since three plays were reviewed in the final 31 seconds of Texas Tech's 23-21 victory against Oklahoma.
"Obviously, we never want to see a game come down to a disputed call or controversial
situation," Weiberg said. "Fortunately, it has happened only rarely."
Taurean Henderson scored a 2-yard touchdown for Texas Tech on the final play Saturday, when he stretched the ball toward the goal line while going down. An official seemed to rule touchdown, pausing after the play before signaling.
The play was reviewed to determine if Henderson's knee was down before the ball crossed the line, and television replays from multiple angles didn't provide enough evidence to overturn the ruling.
"No question, the quality of video is an important issue," Weiberg said. "The replay official is limited to what he has available to him."

Despite the large margin, Henrickson said her players would not underestimate Detroit's ability.
"Detroit is good," she said. "They had a big win at home against Western Carolina, who is a tournament team."
Detroit women's basketball coach Mickey Barrett said he did not know much specifically about Kansas before the weekend.
The Titans are led by senior guard Lindsey Pasquinzo, who scored 22 of the Titans' points on Sunday.
"Preparing for these types of games early in the season is a lot different than later in the season," Barrett said. "Later in the season, you can have specific preparation, but now you can only do what you do well and try to be fundamentally sound."
Detroit arrived in Lawrence yesterday and practiced at the field-
house. The Jayhawks also held a practice yesterday but stayed away from high-intensity activities.
"Bonnie and the staff, they know what they're doing in practice, and I'm sure they are not going to wear us out," Catic said. "We're going to be full speed."
The Jayhawks will focus on stopping Pasquinco. The team allowed Binghamton's best player, Rachel Laws, to score 20 points on Sunday.
Henrickson said the emphasis on stopping star players was an effort to prepare for Big 12 conference play. The two-day turnaround will also resemble conference play. Kaylee Brown said the team's depth would keep the fast-paced offense afloat.
"I'm not worried abut it, but we have to come out and be focused," Brown said. "We're used to having a week off, so we just have to come and be ready to play."

"I will continue to work hard and try to make finals at NCAAs," Leidigh said. "I could also try to get an NCAA cut in another event like the 200 fly or the 50 or 100 free."
Coach Clark Campbell said that right now Leidigh had the fastest time in the 100-yard butterfly event in the country. Leidigh also finished first in the 200-yard butterfly event.
Campbell also was impressed with Herrmann, who set a new KU record in the 100-yard breaststroke. Herrmann placed second in that event and finished third in the 200-yard breaststroke.
In diving, junior Shelby Noonan finished fourth in the three-meter competition, with a score of 301.70, and finished in fifth place in the one-meter competition, with a score of 245.95.
Senior Casey Topol placed 10th in platform diving with a score of 170.55.
Kansas also won the 400-yard freestyle relay.
Campbell was impressed with the seniors well, he said.
"I would grade us B-plus, A-minus range," Campbell said. "I am really pleased with how we are doing now, but we want to progress from good to great."
Even though the team had one automatic NCAA qualification, Campbell said the team must be diligent during Thanksgiving break to prepare for the meet on Dec. 2 and 3 in Cambridge, Mass., against Harvard and Northeastern.
"Harvard has a very,very strong program, and they will be motivated to knock us off," Campbell said.
