Talked to the Referee on the Michigan game about the call and part of his reasoning. He said that the angle from the sideline, looking into the play sold him on the call. The way the Michigan player's helmet moved up was a sign he got hit in the head. Based on how many conversations with him, his logic made total sense to me when I spoke to him. I was focused too much on the fact it was slight.

He also made a point which really brought home the point. "Why do they have the rule in the first place? To get this out of the game." So the fact that he hit him at all in the head is the reason this rule is in place. Players have to adjust so this is not done as often.
