Bigtime Big 12 turnover with 4 new head coaches this spring

FILE - In this Oct. 28, 2017, file photo, Texas Tech defensive back Jah'Shawn Johnson (7) leaves the game after being ejected following a targeting penalty in the second half of an NCAA college football game against Oklahoma, in Norman, Okla. The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel adjusted the targeting rule in college football, allowing video review officials to overturn calls if any element of the penalty cannot be confirmed. The adjustment to the rule announced Tuesday, April 23, 2019, means there will be no option for letting the call on the field "stand" during a targeting review. It must either be confirmed or overturned. The goal of the rule adjustment is to call targeting more accurately and have fewer players ejected for borderline calls.(AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, File)
