    What NCAA says about weather delays

    The NCAA’s lightning safety rules state: “To resume athletic activities, lightning safety experts recommend waiting 30 minutes after both the last sound of thunder and after the last flash of lightning is at least six miles away, and moving away from the location. seen without hearing thunder, lightning may be out of reach and therefore less likely to pose a significant threat.

    “Please note that lightning can be visible at a much greater distance at night than during the day because clouds are illuminated from within by lightning.

    The early debate between ASU and Oklahoma State is now a moot point

    There had been some discussion on social media about how the ASU-Oklahoma State game could be called for ASU due to the inclement weather, with one interpretation of Big 12 rules saying that ASU would win because two quarters had been played and the Sun Devils were up. 21-14.

    But not everyone agreed. The wording says that “when more than half” of the game is completed. ASU and Oklahoma State had played one half, no more than half of their game.

    However, the debate is now a moot point as the two teams will resume play.
