Report: NCAA Oversight Committee to Discuss Targeting, Overtime Rule Changes

NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee chairman Shane Lyons said the group plans on considering changes to targeting and overtime rules, ESPN's Andrea Adelson reported on Tuesday.

According to Adelson, the oversight committee spent seven hours on Tuesday discussing a number of topics, including a proposal on creating two separate categories for targeting fouls. While no recommendations have yet been made, the model under consideration would create targeting 1 fouls for hits without malicious intent and targeting 2 fouls for more egregious hits.

Targeting 1 fouls would carry a 15-yard penalty and no ejection or suspension.
