NCAA makes targeting ejections official, subject to video review

  • The NCAA might have reversed course on its proposed rules alteration concerning Boise State's all-blue uniforms, but it stuck to its initial guns and confirmed a much more serious change: Players flagged for targeting "defenseless players above the shoulders" will face an automatic ejection from the game.

    The NCAA first announced the change in February and made it official with an announcement on Thursday that the new rule had passed through the Playing Rules Oversight Panel. The change will be in effect for the 2013 season.

    Another wrinkle confirmed Thursday: An ejection on the field can be overturned by the replay booth.

    This should be a review-able play where the final decision is made from above and not by the officials on the field.

    A lot of times, offensive players will duck their heads which in fact leads to the targeting calls.

    Agree 100%, many times there is a last second duck (who wouldnt if you are about to get leveled) and its just not possible for the defensive player to pull up.
