In-game headset communications between coaches and players were not compromised, according to the Big 12 following the conference’s investigation into the matter.

“Following industry concerns regarding headset communications, the Big 12 conducted a review of conference gaming and headset communications processes to address any issues raised by member institutions on this topic,” the Big 12 said in a statement Thursday, according to ESPN. Max Olson. “The review showed that at no time was Big 12 competition compromised.”

This news came a day after sources said Olson that “coach-player communications during Power 4 college football games this season took place over unencrypted frequencies.”

Texas Tech then asked the Big 12 to release a report on the Red Raiders’ recent games against TCU and Baylor “to ensure the integrity of the games was not compromised,” according to Olson. The investigation that followed was the result of this request.

Now comes a word from Athletics that immediate changes will be made to ensure that in-game communications will now be encrypted:

“The Power Four conferences have informed their schools that player-coaching helmet The communications equipment they use during games requires adjustment to address product security concerns before teams play again, according to multiple sources within the Power Four conferences.

“The fix requires hands-on work, so schools are shipping equipment across the country, bringing technicians to campus or – in at least one case – sending a staff member with the equipment to Atlanta to pick it up before the Saturday game.”

Obviously, this was done to ensure that communications were not compromised by other teams, thus ensuring the integrity of the games.

“There is concern that others could listen in or access the opponent’s (coach-player) communications,” a source at a Big 12 school told The Athletic.

Headset communication between coach and player was only allowed starting this year, after the NCAA passed a rule. All FBS conferences benefited from this.

But, according to one athletic director, it appears that schools were told that this system was encrypted and secure, when that was not the case.

“We were told it was all encrypted and secure and blah, blah, blah. Now we learn that wasn’t the case,” one athletic director told The Athletic.

“If this had been discovered a few weeks ago, there should have been all the flags. I mean, after what happened with Michigan, if a vulnerability is revealed, everyone should have dropped everything and fix it immediately, and we are fixing it.”

Regardless, it appears the situation was quickly corrected and no damage or misconduct was noted before this issue was discovered.
