    Yes, but they are finally getting around to enforcing the Curtis Williams (RIP) rule.

    I understand the purpose behind trying to protect the players, but I think that there is a lot of gray area here.

    How do they justify an ejection, when it takes so much analysis to determine the nature of each hit, especially when there are hits like that in every game? It's a fine line, and every ref is going to interpret things differently.

    The Pac-12 refs are sure to interpret this in the worst possible way. I foresee a lot of booing and verbal abuse in the near future.

    booing the refs and coaches is OK. They get paid. I never boo the kids though.

    Criticizing the kids is just fine but flat out bashing the kids is wrong (and i'm out).

    Criticizing the idiots is fine but criticize the kids and you're gone.

    Some of you need to learn the difference.

    Thou shalt not smash a woman's face in or thou shalt not withhold child support payments?

    Agree, especially given that a questionable call under this rule has the potential to be a complete game changer. Ejections should be limited to the most egregious penalties such as leading with the crown of the helmet in an intentional helmet to helmet blow. Tossing a player for that is justifiable, but playing the interpretation game on lesser hits that carry an automatic ejection penalty is a problem.
