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

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.

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.
 
**** right when I have all the madden 26 uniform mod fixes they going to get rid of them. At least I have the Malachi Toney skinny long towel (pause) I don’t have a problem with the players rocking the drip they want to rock. But being kicked out of a game for hitting someone hard is and will always be stupid asf to me

No brainer. The rule is already incredibly discretionary and subjective.

Re: shorts, like others have said, who cares?!

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.

Yep. I am at a loss how we don't have more cracked and dislocated patella injuries. Not to mention the protection the knee pads give to the quadriceps tendon and suprapatellar bursa. injuries to those areas can not only linger, but can affect the stabilization of the knee which can lead to much more serious injury.

I remember sustaining an injury to the suprapatellar bursa and it was so painful I couldn't plant to throw the ball for over a week.
