Re: NDSU Paschall Suspended by MVC
You throw a punch, you are suspended at least a game, no matter if it connects or not. Your issue should be with the NCAA rules committe, not with Patty V. or anyone in the league office.
That situation is a nightmare for officials, and I commend them and the coaching staff at NDSU for getting it resolved quickly without further incident, however I think it was inforced a little improperly.
They called offsetting unsportsmanlike penalties, and inforced the illegal forward pass (the referee gave the intentional grounding signal instead of the illegal forward pass signal, but announced it correctly at least). The foul on UNI should have been a late hit out of bounds personal foul, unless he said something to make it a non-contact foul. The NDSU sideline foul was properly called unsportsmanlike as it was a non-contact foul.
