After watching the targeting call against Johnson something occured to me about the penalty inforcement. I went the the NCAA guidlines and it says the penalty is 15 yards and DQ. for the player. It further states that if the foul occurs in the first half the player must sit out the second half. If the foul occurs in the second half the player must sit out the first half on the next game.
Here is where I see a problem with fairness. If the foul should occur on the first play of either half the penalty is twice as bad as if it occurs on the last play of either half. That is, first play ejection, and you miss an entire game. Last play, ejection, and you miss only half a game.
Would it not be more fair if you missed two quarters of either game(current game, or next game) from the time of the infraction.
Should this be something the NCAA should look at.
