Big 12 Conference Announces New Replay Operations Center

The Big 12 Conference today announced the creation of a new centralized Replay Operations Center (ROC) at Williams Tower in Irving, Texas, further modernizing the Conference’s replay operations, game management and future all-sport replay capabilities.

Located within the same building that houses the Big 12 Conference headquarters, the approximately 2,000-square-foot facility will serve as a conference-controlled replay environment designed to enhance the consistency, speed and accuracy of video review while supporting official training and evaluation.

The new ROC will also support live audio feeds during replay reviews on Big 12 football broadcasts, making the Big 12 one of just two conferences to utilize replay audio as part of its television presentation. The announcement builds on the Conference’s continued commitment to increase officiating transparency, following the implementation of live replay center look-ins during the 2025 football season that provided viewers with behind-the-scenes access to the review process.

“Our new replay center is a key investment in Big 12 Football that will strengthen our football ecosystem,” said Big 12 Chief Football and Competition Officer Scott Draper. “This state-of-the-art facility enhances communication and replay operations, elevates our television broadcasts, and creates new opportunities to improve fan engagement and transparency while keeping the Big 12 at the forefront of innovation in college athletics.”

The ROC will open for the 2027 football season, initially featuring 10 replay stations – with the ability to expand to 16 – and will include:

• A 32-input replay system utilizing existing campus fiber infrastructure
• Integrated communication systems connecting stadiums, replay officials and Conference leadership
• PTZ All-30 View camera technology designed to keep all 22 players and eight officials in frame at all times
• DVS 360 post-game review capabilities
• A dedicated replay operations floor and Game Day Center
• A year-round digital content studio supporting Big 12 Studios

As partners on the project, DVSport will provide replay hardware, maintenance, software, 24/7 remote support, onsite game support and replay operator assistance.

“The Big 12 continues to define the future of collegiate athletics with its investment in their new Replay Operations Center,” said DVSport President & CEO Brian Lowe. “By expanding its capabilities and capacity, the Conference is not only meeting the evolving demands of officiating across multiple high-profile sports, but also championing transparency in the process. At DVSport, we are thrilled to extend our replay partnership with the Big 12. Together, we are enhancing the integrity of the game by putting cutting-edge technology into the hands of officials.”
