32 Appendix C- Proposed Constitutional Change PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT SDHSAA FOOTBALL ADVISORY COMMITTEE Amend the SDHSAA Constitution and Bylaws as follows (new language in red underline): Chapter II – Bylaws for Athletics; Part I – Further Eligibility Requirements for Athletic Contests; Section 9. Student/Coach Ejection from a Contest. SECTION 9. STUDENT/COACH EJECTION FROM A CONTEST. Any student or coach ejected from an interscholastic contest by game officials will be ineligible for the next regularly scheduled contest at that level of competition and all other contests in the interim at any level of competition. In the sport of football only, any player ejected/disqualified for specifically violating the provisions of “Illegal Personal Contact” as outlined in Rule 9-4-3 of the NFHS Football Rules:

(a) Shall be disqualified only for the remainder of the current game if the foul occurs in the first half of a game, or,

(b) Shall be disqualified from the remainder of the current game, as well as the first half of the next varsity contest, if the foul occurs in the second half of a game.

A second ejection that occurs during the same sport season shall cause that coach or athlete to be ineligible for the next four regularly scheduled contests at that level of competition and all other contests in the interim at any level of competition. A third ejection… Rationale: The intent of this rule is to provide a lesser penalty for in-game contact fouls that may or may not be adjudicated properly by contest officials. NFHS Rule 9-4-3 allows for the ejection of a player when flagrant personal contact acts occur, such as targeting or a blindside block. The intention is to reduce what can be an ejection that requires a sit-out of nearly 25% of an athlete’s season for plays that, while should be taken out of the game, remain difficult to officiate. Of note, acts such as fighting, contacting a game official, and other heinous acts are not given leeway by this rule, and would still require the two-game sit-out. NFHS Rule 9-4-3 more generally references acts that are more germane to actual football plays; this rule change would allow our officials, coaches and administrators a bit of a reprieve when dealing with an ejection for what may or may not have been a “football play.” The penalty structure mirrors what is currently in place in the NCAA, but remains more strict on unsportsmanlike or other conduct issues.
