Audio reveals why Texas Tech broadcasters were suspended for criticizing Big 12 officials
On Wednesday, the Big 12 announced it was suspending the Texas Tech radio crew for 1 game due to comments made last week about league officials during the broadcast.
Texas Tech ended up beating Iowa State via a 62-yard field goal as time expired, but the Cyclones seemingly got several favorable calls to remain close.
Below, you can hear several minutes of the audio from Saturday’s broadcast that got the Texas Tech crew in hot water:

It's not audible in my recording (likely noise-gated) but he does pretty clearly say "bullshit" about a replay review just a minute or two before the above recordings start pic.twitter.com/Q4vWjc2BY9

No word from the Big 12 if the officials have been reprimanded at all for the missed calls on Saturday.
Either way, the Red Raiders’ radio crew won’t be calling this weekend’s game.
