NCAA softens targeting punishment: Committee nixes automatic suspensions for players​

After more than a decade of complaints from coaches, the NCAA is eliminating the automatic carryover suspension for first-time offenders​

The targeting rule in college football has long been a subject of discontent among coaches, and finally, change is coming to the penalty structure.

The Division I FBS Oversight Committee approved a one-year trial rule on Thursday that fundamentally reshapes targeting penalties. Now, first-time offenders will be allowed to participate in the next game, regardless of which half the foul occurs. Previously, players charged with targeting in the second half were booted from the game and suspended for the first half of the next game.

A player disqualified for targeting a second time during a season will be required to miss the first half of the next game. A third targeting penalty triggers a full-game suspension. No player in the FBS was charged with three targeting penalties in 2025.

Conferences will now also have the option to file an appeal for second offenses. The appeal can also include the player's first targeting foul. If the NCAA's national coordinator of football officials overturns the targeting foul, the player will not have to sit out the next game.

The baseline, in-game penalties remain. Players charged with targeting will be ejected for the remainder of the contest, and a 15-yard penalty will be assessed to the offending team. The NCAA implemented the targeting foul in 2008, and the ejection penalty was added in 2013. Conference offices have been allowed to appeal disqualification decisions made in the second half of games, further fueling coaches' campaign against the penalty structure.

NCAA's latest transfer portal proposal takes aim at coaches, money in effort to deter post-spring tampering

NCAA's latest transfer portal proposal takes aim at coaches, money in effort to deter post-spring tampering​

If you recall the Xavier Lucas saga from a year ago, it's clear what the NCAA is trying to prevent moving forward​

The NCAA FBS Oversight Committee on Friday zeroed in on a recommendation meant to aggressively penalize teams for adding players outside of the transfer portal window.

Adjusting a proposal initially formed in February, the oversight committee settled on a pair of actions that would occur if a team added a player who wasn't entered into the transfer portal during the January window:
  • The head coach would be prohibited from all football (recruiting and on-field coaching) and administrative duties (team meetings) for six contests.
  • The school would be fined 20% of its football budget.
The committee had previously proposed that a school would also lose five scholarships for adding a player not in the portal outside of the portal window. But that's since been removed from the proposal.

The committee left arguably the two most punishing penalties in its proposal, however. Losing five scholarships isn't crippling in an era where teams can carry 105 scholarship players. A head coach losing his ability to recruit and literally do his job in-season is very stringent. So is a team being fined 20% of its football budget.

The proposal still must be adopted by the Division I cabinet, but it's clear the NCAA is taking aim at a transfer loophole that athletes have taken advantage of over the past year and could have had a major impact this spring.

2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

I get the sense that Mobley wants to come back. Bynum, I don't have confidence that he's coming back as he seemed very undecided yesterday. Of those 3 guys, Royal has the most obvious reason to leave with Thompson coming in at SF. Of course you want to have Mobley, Bynum and Royal all back, but everyone is year-to-year nowadays.

Supposedly OSU plans to hire a GM for the program now, which may be a good thing if that means they actually will have legitimate talent evaluation now.

My take is mostly about my perception of demand. I think Bynum will have a lot of serious suitors, Mobley a lot but not as many, and Royal considerably fewer than both of them. I have no insight into what they individually actually want to do.

I’d say that we’ll have to step up quite a bit to keep Mobley and Bynum away from pretty big money elsewhere. Royal, not so much.

I want to say one more thing about this game. The last play of the game isn't where OSU lost, IMO. You got surprised by TCU putting two guys guarding the inbounds pass with 4 seconds left & did not have a timeout. Obviously they didn't get what they wanted in that scenario, but putting the whole game on one play does a disservice to ignoring a real flaw in the team, which was interior defense. TCU was able to score near the basket over and over, their forwards were able to constantly get to the basket, get layups and get fouled, and OSU had very little in terms of strength, holding position, shotblocking and help defense to stop them. Plus they were able to get a ton of offensive rebounds. To me, this game was lost moreso on the defensive end where they failed to stop TCU from getting easy shot opportunities down the stretch. I'm a firm believer that in the NCAA tournament, when the going gets tough, the team that's tougher to score on in the paint wins, and OSU wasn't that team yesterday. In order for OSU to take the next step as a program, they need to be that team that's tougher to beat in the paint.

Exactly, the last 2 defensive possessions lost the game way more than having to try to score having to go full court with 4 seconds left

Wide open 3 and then the game winning easy short distance put in.

Virginia does that often, their depth and physicality catches up with teams at the end of the game. They obviously show the importance of strength and depth.

Yes. They have been a 2nd half team all season. Uncharacteristic UVA turnovers today - both forced and unforced, and the Wright State guy who had 1 3-pointer all season made 5 of them, kept this game close. I would be really curious to hear why Wright State kept their top scorer (16 in 1st half) out for so much of the 2nd half. Really a head scratcher without knowing more.
