DG,
I may be wrong, if so my apologies, but didn't the NCAA change the contact rule this year? The one prior resulted in so many ejections that the NCAA made a point of emphasis that we need to scrutinize contact above the waist more carefully. A couple years ago, when Canham would have been at OSU, this type of collision would have resulted in him being ejected, right? In NCAA ball malicious contact is stressed. Lowering your shoulder into another catcher's head and extending your arm in that effort is a decent attempt to injure. It was hardnosed, but the gloves come off in pro ball. Pete Rose would have loved this play.
