I'm one who favors having a targeting call, but at the same time, I have been
very frustrated with it's application, or should I say, inconsistent application.

For example, the Pac 12 refs confirm almost all and any contact to the head--including incidental and unavoidable. While the SEC, overturns almost every incidental head contact, plus some that didn't look so incidental.

In any event, I have been advocating that suggested rule change. Since an ejection and suspension are involved, it needs to be confirmed. Then give the referees (especially booth) better training on what is targeting and what is not. No more allowing targeting for players/receivers that change the target zone (especially after the defender has already committed himself) or targeting for making helmut-to-helmut contact after being knocked into a player by the player's teammate, and so on.
