Old school definition:
Spearing is intentional use of the helmet (including the face mask) in an attempt to punish an opponent.”
College officials had difficulty enforcing the vague rule so they made adjustments to the wording to cover a broader range of unnecessary violence in these collisions. Removing "intentional" from the wording and focusing on high hits regardless of helmet positioning. A player launching himself (i.e. leaving his feet) was also a visual key given to officials to make this judgement call.
2004 Rule Change
It's amateur athletics and as much as we like the big hits its nice to have them walk off the field.
