re: the SEC has the ability to overturn the White suspension

You really think the SEC wants to have targeting court every week after every penalty?

Even before LSU ever had a player suspended under the targeting rules, I thought they were too extreme. I've always been a proponent of treating them similarly to flagrant fouls in basketball. First offense for non-egregious targeting calls is a 15 yard penalty. Two offenses in the same games warrants an ejection. For an egregious foul with intent to injure and/or a "non-football play" would warrant an ejection.

I think if the suspension is overturned it may benefit everyone in the NCAA taking a look at this rule for possible modification in the off-season, which is something I think fans of any team could get behind because we've all had these calls go against players on our team that seemed overboard based on the play.

And for clarity's sake, I am not in the sky-screaming crowd that thinks this has anything to do with Alabama or any other conspiracies. I am in the crowd that disagrees with the call made on the field and will leave it at that.
