The Big Ten Conference released a statement regarding a referee mistake during the final moments of the UCLA-Oregon football game on October 10. UCLA secured a 17-15 victory, marking their first win at Oregon since 2004. After Oregon's initial two-point conversion attempt was thwarted, a facemask penalty against UCLA granted them a second chance.

The conference acknowledged this error and emphasized the importance of consistent officiating in future games.
