I once had Larry Scott's email address, but apparently lost it. Anyone have it? Scott certainly needs to see that jarring image of Owusu being hit in the head. He needs to hear from fans about this. The conference needs to make a statement and take action on it.Â
If I was a defensive player and saw this kind of hit is allowed, I would absolutely be planning similar hits for future games I play in. IOW, it is a clear and present danger for players playing in future games, for this kind of stuff to be allowed without penalty or suspension.Â
Given Stanford and Washington play on Friday night, the conference owes it to act post-haste and clarify what the rules are for hits to the head. Otherwise, Stanford and Washington players will be at risk. This isn't an issue that can wait until some off-season rules committee review. It needs to be acted on NOW.
