NCAA looking to end targeting carry over and end “Short Shorts”

[BostonCanes47]

I have no idea how people play without knee pads. Games changed, but when I was playing those things saved my knees more than I can count.

Targeting levels:
1. 15 yard penalty
2. Half the distance to the goal
3. Half the distance to the goal, kick player and suspend them for 2 quarters.

I'm old school as well. The shortened pants seem a little ridiculous. A cross between 7v7 shorts vs Pride Day at the Village.

It reminds me of the sports bra looking undershirt worn by male soccer players.

They actually have a function, there's tech in them that measures athletic data such as heartbeat, distance covered, blood pressure, etc.

Short pants have no function, they're just... short.

I fully expected this when Lucas got suspended for the championship. Shameful

Don’t go there please…then we get to add another subjective criteria to the already s hitty officiating….just make it a 20 yard penalty or something and be done with it.

These refs struggle calling targeting as it is. Adding an extra level of interpretation just means they'll **** it up more.

Bingo.

It’s like what they have done to a charge in basketball and now the ridiculous pass interference in football. Keep adding **** to the nice already black and white call to make it as subjective as possible and almost impossible to not **** everyone off…

K.I.S.S.

It should , complete bs half these targeting class are questionable . If you some below the shoulders and qb goes down and get hit in the head that’s not the db fault if he’s already commited to that position .

All I kept hearing is how the defensive player is "launching" when he makes the hit. Same with Lucas.
How does a DB tackle a crosser without moving towards the ball carrier?

Exactly. I would have been kicked out of half my games in high school and I wasn't even headhunting. Just trying to make a play on the ball full speed. I cringe when a guy lowers his head and hits with the crown of the helmet because that is dangerous for the tackler.. and I thought that was the original intent of the rule.
