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.

It wasn’t misapplied here though. By definition White’s hit WAS targeting and it’s already been reviewed and upheld by the league office. It certainly wasn’t a horrific hit, and prior to the rule it would have just been a roughing the passer foul, but as of 2016 it was now a targeting foul.
