The fake injury plague

[Applecane]

Easy fix: If a player, like the WF guy in the 4th Q, is upright, looks over to the sideline and then suddenly falls down, ban him from the field for three plays or even for the rest of the drive.
Leave it to the ref's discretion. So many of these fakes are incredibly obvious...

They call it in basketball. They should be able to call a flag in football. They should consider keeping the guy out the rest of the series, or burn a timeout.

SEC fines the coach’s.

And that killed the momentum in that drive

 

[Shooter McGavin]

5 yard penalties would put an end to this **** and make that player stand on the sidelines for the rest of the series.

As you can never be sure, just have them sit out the rest of the series.

If they're injured enough to sit down and need medical help they can't be healthy enough to immediately come back on.

They’ve got to do something. It’s cheating to me and definitely not within the spirit of the game. I’ve always hated from the first time I saw Butch do it when we lost to FIU.

Have them do an anal probe

Who did it like 4 or 5 times against us earlier in the year ? Was it VT ? It was ridiculous.

I’m sure that’ll really hurt the guy making 20 million a year

I don't think they'll ever touch this.

Too much emphasis put on "player safety."

It sucks, but it is what it is.

 

[OptimusCreampie]

Take the player out if you have to stop the clock. If they have to stop the game then you should “evaluate” him.

Player safety it is then. Hold the guy out for the rest of the series

 

[Bird4um]

Just sub a scrub in and he goes down.

 

[clg003]

They had 3 timeouts...

 

[Brickell]

Make a new rule where the injured player can't come back in until a change of possession.

Simple solution.

Chump change.

 

[BOLTY]

No real injuries for us this game which is good

Nah, one warning (sit out for a quarter+ personal foul) and then an ejection on the second personal foul. It is such a bush league stunt. It has no place in CFB.

 

[canesbrah]

Yeah if you ever played sports you know how hard it is to come back once you start cramping. He was out there next play gtfo. Needs to be a sit out time period
