NCAA proposes rule changes for targeting, defensive substitutions - CBSSports.com

Ehhh, one I agree with the other I don't.

  • Targetting penalty of 15-yards can be overturned if the ejection is negated. However if another personal foul happens on the play, it stays.
  • Defenses will get 10-seconds at the start of every play to due any substitutions. If the offense snaps before the play clock progresses 10-seconds, they'll be called off sides and get a 5 yard penalty.

First one I'm good with, the second one is stupid and would kill any high tempo offenses. Something tell me Saban is lobbying hard for it since he has been openly against the play style.I wonder what will happen if it is the end of the game and you are rushing to stop the clock or get a play off. Now they may have to factor in the extra 5 yard penalty by rushing to start the play. I can just see this causing many issues in very close games that come down to the wire.
