Targeting

The entire auto-ejection part of the rule is stupid.  There shouldn't be an ejection unless it's a second offense or a flagrant and reckless hit.

The NCAA Football Rules Committee met this week in Indianapolis and recommended two adjustments to its targeting rules to strengthen one of the most important calls of the game.

The committee, chaired by Stanford coach David Shaw, proposed a progressive penalty for those student-athletes who receive a second targeting foul in the same season. In addition to being disqualified from that game, the player would be suspended for the team’s next contest.

The second adjustment to the targeting rule deals with the instant replay review. Instant replay officials will be directed to examine all aspects of the play and confirm the foul when all elements of targeting are present. If any element of targeting cannot be confirmed, then the replay official will overturn the targeting foul. There will not be an option for letting the call on the field stand during a targeting review.

Two yellows equals a red. I thought David Shaw was supposed to be a smart man.

2nd offense in same game, then ejection.

1st ejection  -- miss 1st half of next game

2nd ejection -- miss next entire game

So.  Fucking.  Stupid.   You are going to have starters missing games for unavoidable contact.

So Porter Gustin would be done for the season after what...3 games?  How about they start calling targeting when it's obvious targeting, and not call it when it wasn't, first.  Then they can talk about repercussions.
