Targeting explanation
- Thread starter cedarstrip
- Start date
For the 17th million time, Targeting is never legal. Not on any play, ever. Not on a tipped pass, not ever.
Texas got away with a clear, obvious targeting. It was a blatant (and brazen) decision not to call Targeting as the replay clearly confirmed, with no doubt or ambiguity. And no one will face a single consequence, outside of course of ASU's program, their players, their fans, etc.

There are 134 FBS college football teams in the nation. 100 (75%) of them lie outside of the Big 10/SEC. While the Big 10/SEC schools generally have larger fan bases, their total fan base does not exceed the fan bases that make up the vast majority of college football.
Amen, except each Big 12 school does face a consequence.
ISU, and all the other Big 12 schools, each lost a $375,000 share that would have been awarded had ASU advanced in the playoffs. Instead, the $6 million goes to the SEC schools and the rich get even richer.
I'm sure Jamie could have made great use of that $375,000 share. It's just chump change for the SEC schools . Maybe the Big 12 should file a class action lawsuit.

The non-call proved the bias in the official ruling. Truly unbiased officials would have made the call for targeting. There should be an asterisk on every Texas win going forward. ASU was robbed. And one can assume overlooking the targeting was based on complete bias and favoritism.
I’ll keep saying it.
Fraud
Racketeering:
“is a set of illegal activities aimed at commercial profit that may be disguised as legitimate business deals. Racketeering is defined by a coordinated effort by multiple people to repeatedly earn a profit. Typically, by fraud, extortion, bribery, threats, violence, or other illegal means.”

The review booth has one person appointed by the CFP (ESSENTIALLY ESPN) that determines all reviews.
The Ref looking into a view box with a headset is only to watch and listen while the Booth Reviewer determines the call.
It is noted however that the Big Ten officials did not throw a flag for targeting. So they missed the call too. However, the booth could have and probably would have overturned it. (See Marvin Harrison Jr vs Georgia)
AP news story this morning. As said Big 10 officials did not make the call.
In the Big 12 championship game ASU DB gets called for head to head, and is kicked out of the game. That guy misses the first half of the Texas game. According to to the AP story, guess who gave up 2 1st quarter touchdowns? The replacement for the guy kicked out. Might be time to get a reffing crew kicked out of college sports.

I had forgotten about him. Brad VanVark is a LONG time Big 12 official from the DSM area or Pella that has moved from the field to the replay booth.
To the "you don't make calls like that at that critical time of the game" crowd:
then it would have been OK for ASU to just knock down or hold all the TX receivers on the 4th down touchdown in OT, right? Just swallow the whistles there.

Some people really need to defend/rationalize every bad call. It’s every bit a coping mechanism as blaming officials for every tough loss.
This is another great example of why college football refs a replay officials should have lost the ability for such harsh penalties.
This kinda fits here. I still don't know how 18 was not called for targeting or something on this play. He walks up and lowers his helmet to hit Noel in the helmet after he was driven back ~5 yards. The refs and replay just completely missed it.
Can never say this about any big blown call. No one knows the alternate future created from that call being made.
