Simple rule

[RockyTop140]

Ref checks on injured players and judges it to be fake, throws a flag 15 yards and the player is out for the rest of the game and one more.

Being tired or catching a leg cramp is not injured it’s called being out of shape or at least not in good enough shape.

There could be a new sub rule too. If player A is running off the field player B can sub in without flag as long as player B is outside the numbers until a player A is out of bounds.

How can a ref prove a cramp? And no, having cramps does not mean you are out of shape. They happen to athletes pretty often. Not near as often as ole miss and Purdue would lead anyone to believe though.

In this case catching a “cramp”, was indicating a fake injury just to get a free time out.

Based off the treatment that is given, sometimes it’s obvious that the player got a “cramp”.

Limit the rule to defense only. Offensive players won't be faking injuries.

You realize we had an Olineman fake an injury against OM when he was running off the field and Heupel told him to go down, right?

OK, well when we do it I'm not worried about it. Only worried about when it's against us.
