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.


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.

Disagree 100% when you consider the spirit of the rule and the rampant inconsistency with which it's enforced.

Even if it wasn't misapplied, if you are suspended from a game, I think there should be some sort of appeal process. I think they should be at least given the opportunity to have their case heard by a third party.
