Rule change means replay officials will have more say in targeting calls | FOX Sports-rbr
The NCAA playing rules oversight panel approved on Tuesday a proposal by the rules committee to expand instant replay officials' authority regarding targeting fouls. Replay officials now will be able to call ''egregious'' targeting penalties missed by on-field officials. They also will have more flexibility to overturn incorrect targeting calls.

rbr opWe finally have some definition of when the booth guys can step in -- when it's "egregious." Since the word means "shockingly bad," then we're left with yet another subjective definition. Are we talking a shockingly bad hit in the SEC or B12? Are we talking BYU's brand of objectively shockingly-bad? Are we offending Memphis' sensibilities or Wake Forest? Blech. Targeting: Never has such a well-intentioned rule been so poorly defined and enforced. I fear we're left with Justice Potter Stewart's notion of obscenity [well, hard-core pornography]: "I know it when I see it." Then again, try and ask the NFL guys what a catch is and watch their heads explode.
