Penalty needs to be like ice hockey box.Injury stopping play should be a 5 min. box fine. View attachment 424906 and you have to share the box with 1st and 2nd cousins.
Up until recently we had a name I won't write here for players who did this, and coaches who encouraged it. Football is supposed to be a full contact Man's sport unless you are playing Flag, Touch, or Powder Puff. I don't see good football teams doing it, and never on Sundays.The hurry-up was our best offensive weapon this season. It certainly leveled the playing field and kept us in games we had no business being in, or even winning.
I hate the flops... but I respect them... because until a rule is changed, that's the same dang thang I'd do against it.
It is more than obvious that teams have learned to flop just to slow down tempo against teams who use the speed of play as a weapon. This is essentially an unofficial time out, and it alters the flow of the game and spirit of sportsmanship. I appreciate that some are honest injuries and for safety sake should be done, but if safety is the honest basis, let them sit out the drive. That should be the new rule. This pattern is too obvious from kiffin’s bs to last night with one player pulling that 4 times, this crap needs to be stopped.
Should have to sit out the rest of the series. The deal is going to be if someone is really hurt or not. How do you determine that, unless it's like it was last night, blatant.

The best ones are when they are running towards the sideline to get off the field and they get shot by a sniper. You would think they deserve a Purple Heart for getting wounded in the war. Then they are magically healed by the trainers and walk off the field without a limp.Hear all the time....'our players health is first and foremost.'....Bullcrap....A player goes down as he's looking to the sideline.....They bring out the trainers....team doctors.....Priest to deliver the last rites....Then they tote him off the field like he's been shot only to have him take off 1 play and then back in the game while the coaches sub fresh D linemen in the game..
Yeah right....'our players health is first and foremost.'............IMO make them stay out 5-10 minutes of the game clock.
This will continue....and if legal it is smart to do it.....Not many teams go warp speed like Heupel....I will be shocked if it's even addressed.
They could also institute a substitution limit like soccer uses. Each quarter you can sub a certain amount of times and once you are past that you have to call timeout to sub past the limit.The 2 exceptions should be injury resulting from a penalty committed by the other team (roughing the passer, targeting, etc.) or if you use a time out to cover the stop in play.
No other substititions should be allowed unless the other team substitutes. Team with injured player should not he able to talk with coaches during the stop in play.
Some of these folks suggestions are more complicated than the NCAA. For goodness sakes, if you go down you are out for the rest of the series. End of problem, period. But when does the NCAA ever do something simple and easy.GBO
I agree, but nobody is ever gonna sit someone an entire game. And if they did, a coach would just pick a designated flopper and not care anyways
Just make it to where the defense can’t substitute other than the hurt player and the players remaining on the field cannot come to the sideline to receive coaching.
All that Plus have the sit out the series. If the same player does the flop more than once, sit out entire half.4 is way too many. I say 1 per half then a team uses their time outs. If a player is truly injured, many times they can still get themselves off the field without stopping play.
