Pac-12 men's basketball officials weren't compensated on time during the early part of the 2018-19 college basketball season.

The Oregonian/OregonLive has learned that the failure of the Pac-12 to compensate officials extended for two pay periods.

Andrew Walker, head of communications for the Pac-12 said: "That is correct that due to an error, for a number of early season games some of our officials were paid late."

Several officials were told by the conference that it was due to a clerical error. Others were told that the conference's trip to China had caused the oversight.

The Cal men's basketball team played Yale in the 2018 Pac-12 China Game on Nov. 10 at the Baoshan Sports Center in Shanghai.

Walker said all payments have now been made.
