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.

NFL weighs live non-football penalties via replay official, sparking backlash

The NFL is considering expanding the replay official’s role to flag missed non-football penalties during games, potentially allowing penalties to be assessed in real time. The plan, discussed by Troy Vincent, would create a new, subjective layer outside on-field action and raise questions about game integrity and whether such calls should have final say. Critics warn it could distort pivotal moments, like late playoff drives, and echo earlier, messy expansions of replay. The piece labels the idea a “legendarily bad” proposal and notes the ongoing tension between officiating accuracy and simplicity in the game.

The NFL Competition Committee is weighing a rule change that would let replay officials flag non-football acts that went unpenalized on the field, potentially allowing postplay penalties for incidents like the Diggs/Jobe and Hall/Dotson plays; if approved, it could lead to broader questions about penalizing missed calls and would require careful narrowing of the language.
