Another question is should the refs be held accountable for these , since the player loses playing time ?

Well not just them. The entire rule has taken away from the aggressive nature of the game. Yes, hitting late and hitting out of bounds is justified. But hitting with pads under the chin is not like helmet hits. But another thorn in my side is the way they escort the player off the field. You would think the player was a convict being arrested. With all this talk by the NCAA about protecting the athlete, what is the difference between a recruit jilting a university by stringing them along and not signing and showing one walking off the field with his head down and embarrassed by what he did?
