re: Should targeting not be called on the field and let the replay officials decide?

No disagreement from me. I think it is a very poorly drafted rule that is far too broad and ambiguous which is probably why we hear so many different interpretations of the same rule. I think even the officials are unsure of what is or isn't targeting. And if an ambiguous rule results in a suspension of the guilty party, then clearly the NCAA needs to convene in the offseason about modifying the rule so everyone is clear on how it should operate. IMO, they need to have two levels of targeting, one for incidental targeting and one for egregious targeting. For the incidental targeting, you get a 15 yard penalty. If you get two of those in one game, then you're ejected. Egregious targeting with clear intent, ejection would be appropriate; however, all ejections that come with a suspension in the next game should also provide for a mandatory review the following week by a neutral body from another conference or something to that extent.
Seems pretty reasonable. I just think that if you go that route, all ejections should be reviewed (first or second half) and the penalty should be higher for that level of review if upheld...

that would be a better way of going about it, no doubt

I feel like I read something that in NCAA games that don't have replay reviews available, if a player is ejected in the first half, they can review the play at halftime and reinstate the player in the second half if appropriate. I would be ok with that
