According to several league coaches and administrators The Athletic spoke to on condition of anonymity for clarity about the issue, the concerns are related to the accessibility of the coach-to-helmet radio system that college football teams have begun using this season. A problem with the technology was discovered at the Texas A&M-Arkansas game on Sept. 28 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Officials from all Power 4 conferences were alerted. Two Big 12 officials told The Athletic that conferences notified football staff at each school about the issue.
“There are concerns that others can listen in or access opponent (coach-to-player) comm,” a source at a Big 12 school told The Athletic.
A person involved in the Big 12’s process told The Athletic that the conference is not investigating any accusations of cheating related to the helmet communications nor has one been requested by any members. An official at another Power 4 conference said they had notified their schools in the beginning of October and none have reported issues and concerns.
