Correct, and if it can happen to one of us, then it could happen to any of us. So this is bigger than White, LSU, or even the SEC itself. We may be stuck with it for this year but it can be corrected by next year. I hate it for White, I really do, but he could have a longer lasting effect on college football than any other player this year.

It was only a matter of time before a big-time player was suspended and/or ejected from a big-time game due to the targeting penalty. I knew the reaction from whoever was affected would be big, just hate that it happened to be LSU. But hopefully this shows the NCAA that they really need to address how this rule is implemented and governed.

And honestly, the NCAA should be open to being more responsive to appeals for review of their rules throughout the season in cases where a rule has been clearly misapplied.

Letting it stand just because there's no appeals process is just as bad as the way it's written.
