Big 12 Says Notre Dame Lost Final 1 Second in 28-24 BYU Win

Summary
The Big 12 said Notre Dame should have received one more snap after replay officials wrongly let the clock expire at the end of BYU’s 28-24 win Saturday.
The conference said review showed :01 remained when CJ Carr’s final pass hit the ground, but the play was incorrectly cleared and officials ended the game.
That decision came as attention had already centered on whether BYU committed pass interference on the last heave to Jade Greathouse in the end zone.
The Big 12 said it will conduct a full review of its end-of-game officiating process before next week’s games, adding to a season already marked by clock-management controversies.
Why does a billion-dollar sport still rely on conference-run referees instead of an independent national replay system to prevent game-ending blunders?
Could a single unplayed second ultimately cost Notre Dame a playoff spot, or did their own red-zone failures seal their fate?
