Coaches discussing "faking injury" and other topics at AFCA convention

Looks like preferred walkons have a new role.

This solution seems so simple and common sense, why wasn't it enacted earlier?

You could also just penalize the team if the kid is walking around fine than suddenly drops to the ground like they are shot after looking to the sideline.

Maybe, but this is probably too subjective. I wouldn’t mind it though….automatic first down.

Coaches have and will bend the rules when they get a chance

Gotta suspend and fine them to actually hold them accountable

would this include players on offense too? do offensive players fake injuries a lot?

one scenario I can think of is player getting the wind knocked out of them, especially a QB.. that's a pretty harsh punishment to be out the rest of the drive for getting the wind knocked out of you...

I guess they could just video review every injury since we're in timeout anyway...they see a flop...call it.

They’ll still do it with players who aren’t a starters at the end of a drive. If the other team in on the 10 yard line and it’s a backup then they’ll still do it

The answer is in your question. This goes for almost all solutions when it comes to the NCAA, not just this one in particular.

Smart…make them sit out the rest of the drive and next time it happens hit them with a 15 yarder. This fake injury crap ruins the game and slows it down like a ************. Thanks @JHallCanes

Tired of coaches signaling players to go down and drama queens acting like they’ve suddenly been shot. Old school and obviously naive, but always thought the game was rooted in sportsmanship and team work. So, shame on coaches taking advantage of rules with this phony ****.

Another rule that needs tweaking is automatic trip to sideline and sitting out a play if helmet comes off. That crazy and no longer necessary. Do you sideline anyone for not inserting mouthpiece during a play or wearing thigh-high pants?
Purpose of the rule was originally to cut down on showboating - yes, our Canes. Rule accomplished it goal and time to move on. If player rips helmet off to helmet on field, that’s one thing. But team and player need not be penalized if helmet comes off in course of a play.

Here on to be known at CIS as the "Butch Davis Rule" sourced back to the 2019 debacle against FIU:

From StateOfTheU.com:

On potentially five or more occasions during Saturday night’s game, a Panther player fell to the ground untouched with an apparent injury while Miami was on offense. This caused game officials to stop the game for a short break so the FIU athletic training staff could attend to that player.

But what it really did was broke the Miami offense’s rhythm and slowed the game down. After the Hurricanes caught on to what the Panthers were doing, multiple players, including quarterback Jarren Williams, would demonstratively react to officials after seeing the FIU player just fall.

The CBS Sports broadcast team also quickly caught on to what the Panthers were doing and accused FIU of intentionally flopping and faking injuries.

FIU coach Butch Davis denied the allegation in his post-game news conference and fired back at the Hurricanes and anyone else who believed his team was flopping intentionally to gain a competitive advantage.

“I’d like for them to look at our medical reports,” Davis was quoted by the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel as saying. “I guarantee you: I’ve never coached a football team that has had as many hamstring and groin injuries this entire season, and this is the truth, okay?

“It’s a shame when somebody boos when people get injured. We didn’t boo when their kid broke his elbow.”

Davis saying “their kid” was in reference to DeeJay Dallas exiting the game in the third quarter with a gruesome elbow injury.

LINK: Like college basketball, college football needs a flopping rule

Total POS maneuver and cover-up by Butch. The same antics by his son from another Lane Kiffin triggered the SEC to handle that BS going forward:

• First Offense: Head coach receives a public reprimand and a $50,000 fine.
• Second Offense: Head coach receives another reprimand and a $100,000 fine.
• Third Offense: Head coach receives another reprimand and will be suspended for his program's next game. -- Per memo obtained by ESPN.

Well done Sankey

Keep fake injury **** in soccer where it belongs

You spelled Botch wrong. The game that self serving Miami fans showed their asses rooting against The U…
