SEC Adds Instant Replay

(07/07/05)--The Southeastern Conference became the sixth NCAA D1-A football conference to agree to employ the instant replay system this fall, joining the Pac-10, Big East, Mountain West, ACC, and Big Ten.

How instant replay will work in the SEC:
* The SEC is spending $20,000 per school to upgrade replay equipment in the press boxes.
* A nine-panel replay screen similar to the NFL will be used.
* The league will pay for TV cameras at games not already televised.
* An extra official in the press box will decide if a play needs to be reviewed by buzzing the officials on the field.
* Coaches cannot request a replay.
* Reviewable plays: Touchdowns, out of bounds, receptions, fumbles.
