Big Ten expands live replay reviews to 2026 conference games — Sep 9, 2026The Big Ten is expanding in-broadcast replay reviews to include all conference games and most non-conference games in 2026, featuring live audio between the game referee and replay official, video of the review, and access to the Big Ten Replay Center.

Tom Gallagher I hope the replay center access actually speeds things up instead of dragging out games with extra scrutiny in every conference matchup.
