SEC commissioner orders SEC coaches to stop feign injuries

[CANESCANES]

SEC coaches will be suspended a game for 3rd violation for players faking injuries. Commish Greg Sankey notifies SEC coaches/ADs “as plainly as it can be stated stop any & all activities related to faking injuries.” 1st violation head coach fined $50,000; 2nd $100,000 fine; 3rd coach suspended next game

About time! This fake injury nonsense, both college and NFL, is out of control

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

I respect the attempt to regulate this BS

Why not make a so called injured player not elgible to reenter game for x number of plays/ minutes

Because when players are actually injured, they'll start trying to play through it to avoid missing playing time

Sankey better watch out. He's not going to have one tree in his yard that is still living.

Well if they are truly hurt then they are going to miss multiple plays anyway

Why does college not charge a timeout when an offensive player gets injured with 2 minutes left in game? Ville benefited with an extra timeout because of that. That rule should implemented immediately. It’s a free time out for a team right now.

Yup, if they are hurt or even possibly hurt, they should sit out a series anyway to get evaluated.

Some guys will always try to play through injuries. I dont think coming out for just 1 play vs coming out for the series would change that behavior at all. It probably is a POSITIVE thing in regards to injuries and definitely a positive to on field play.

Go Canes!

Lol this will be arbitrary. There's all kinds of stuff that doesn't look like an injury but is.

I remember Steve McNair playing against the Falcons hurt his calf after a play just standing still and then took an innocent step back and that knocked him out for a few games.

Require players to miss a quarter, series, or a larger number of plays when there is a stoppage of play.

I've always wanted a 30 second rule.

If you're hurt, you/your team gets 30 seconds to remove you from the field of play and tend to your injuries on the sidelines.

If it's a serious neck injury, they get the ambulance and gurney and that player is done.

Have a cart at midfield ready to shoot out there and have the injured guy jump on. Backup comes in. Keep playing.

Or like rugby. They play around you and you still count as one of the 11.

Go Canes!

It seemed like there was an injury every play.
