I'm all for protecting the player but the penalty is so severe. They just ejected a Virginia tech player on a very questionable call. Theirs also been a couple in the last few lsu games. Is there any other form of a penalty we could use that doesn't result in them missing game time?

Blame the lawsuit in NOLA and former NFL players, not the officials.

That's my main point as well. 15 yard penalties aren't a joke, they hurt. If data shows that the ejection doesn't lower the head to head collisions then the NCAA needs to be kicked in the fricking nuts.

At least they are reviewable now, both penalty and ejection.

Blame ESPN and Sportscenter and the Top 10 for glorifying these showboat highlight hits, particularly on receivers/reverse direction defenders. Kids don't tackle, they go for the highlight reel hit.

When the targeting stops, they will let up on the ejection rule. I agree with the rule...until it hurts my team.

Blame the kids that are going half retard on behalf of the concussions. You target? You're out. Simple way to not be affected is to not target.

The solution is to go low and blow out knees
