FAYETTEVILLE — Football players who are ejected for targeting during the second half of a game will be able to appeal their suspension for the first half of the following game beginning this year.
The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel on Wednesday approved the appeals process for targeting, as well as an investigation process for teams suspected of faking injuries.
For targeting, a conference will submit a request to national coordinator of officials Steve Shaw, who will review the play. The conference will then decide whether a suspension is warranted for the first half of the following game.
