NCAA mulls one-year trial: first targeting ejection won’t force a halftime ban in 2024-25

The Division I Football Rules Subcommittee proposed a one-year trial that would allow a player disqualified for targeting for the first time in a season to play in the next game, regardless of whether the ejection occurred in the first or second half. The existing rule would still apply to a second targeting offense. FBS and FCS Oversight Committees must approve; the FBS panel meets March 19 and the FCS on March 23. Conferences would also be allowed to appeal second-targeting calls for possible overturns via video review. The change aims to balance safety with an appropriate penalty structure, with ongoing monitoring.

Penalty Storm Decides Bills-Broncos OT, Analyst Argues

The piece argues Buffalo’s 13.1 Harm penalties—especially on the late drive and in overtime—significantly hampered the Bills and likely changed the playoff result against Denver, citing key calls and no-calls (including a crucial holding on Forsyth, Ogunjobi’s flinch that negated a fumble, Coleman’s drop, and multiple OT flags) as evidence that officiating swung the outcome more than Denver’s play.
