The wussification of college football or sensible protection for players?

That rule being proposed by the NCAA is now a done deal as of today. If fans were outraged at ACC refs before, wait til we see how they interpret (or misinterpret) this one. Let's just hope it's reviewable.

"The Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved a new football rule that requires players who target and contact defenseless players above the shoulders to be ejected, effective for the 2013 season. The change increases the on-field penalty for targeting by adding the automatic ejection to the existing 15-yard penalty."
