In reply to trey. The EJECTION can be overturned, that's it. The penalty yardage, even if they realize after review it wasn't illegal, is still enforced. Also, look at the many people who said the CLOWNEY HIT, which was one of the greatest examples of form tackling around, would garner an ejection. My main issue is giving NCAA refs, who are by and large terrible, more ways to fuck up games is a terrible thing.

Just to clarify, there is no NEW rule about targeting or high contact. The exact same rule that makes a hit legal or illegal is the same this year as it was last year. Officials are being trained to understand that and not go looking for calls to enforce this new rule. However, we are being asked to be more scrutinizing on hits that go too high. The only real change is the penalty enforcement, which, as youve noted, is able to be overturned by replay if the replay officials belives the hit was not targeting.

Nix didn’t lift the pool. The pool jump into that man’s vehicle because it was scared.

Stoops is a damn moron, but sadly even if he had come out vehemently against it, the idiots on twitter would keep up their “recruiting efforts.” The targeting penalty is going to be a problem this year. Sure safety is important, but adding more subjective calls that can turn the tide of multiple games (given the auto suspension if ejected) is ludicrous. Stupid NCAA being the worst at everything.
