The Big 12 has suspended Texas Tech's radio broadcaster for this weekend's football game with Oklahoma State following recent on-air remarks over officiating.

Big 12 Conference Commissioner Bob Bowlsby came down on broadcasters Brian Jensen and John Harris after they were overly critical of the officiating on-air during last Saturday's Texas Tech game against Iowa State.

After one call went against the Red Raiders, radio analyst Harris said, "The Big 12 does not want Iowa State to lose this game."

Jensen said the officials were embarrassing and went on to call each out by name.

Bowlsby said the comments were over the line. Ironically, Tech won the game.
