Big Ten football officials coordinator: "When in doubt, throw him out"

Big Ten officials coordinator Bill Carollo didn't hesitate when I asked him what the point of emphasis was going to be for officials this fall: blows targeted above the shoulders at defenseless players.

"If it happens," Carollo said, "the player will be automatically ejected from the game."

And if officials have any doubt if a hit violated the guidelines, they have been told: "When in doubt, throw him out."
