Long video which I haven't watched end-to-end quite yet, but Walt Anderson gives the overview of rules changes for the Big 12 Conference:

Quotable:
"We're the only BCS conference that does this: rules knowledge to us is so vitally important for our officials, and if the officials do not pass the test -- and just about every conference does a rules exam -- they don't work for the entire season."
"We have a very high element of accountability within our program. I know, just in the seven years that I've been with the program, we've dismissed, for performance reasons, 27 officials. Now, in the same seven years, I can tell you that the NFL has dismissed one."
