PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- 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 replay 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, Big East spokesman Jonathan Gust said Wednesday.
The Big East football conference is composed of Cincinnati, Connecticut,
Louisville, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, South Florida, Syracuse and West
Virginia.
