Football rules committee proposes new rule changes to targeting

The NCAA Football rules committee met in Indianapolis this week to discuss a few new tweaks for the upcoming season. While a couple rule adjustments were recommended, the two most notable proposed changes were in regards to their targeting rules.

“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 NCAA is completely insane. The vast majority of targeting calls do not appear to be malicious in any way.
