NCAA Tweaks Rules for Targeting, Fake Injuries Ahead of 2022 CFB Season

[Arrested Devolopment]

The only way to stop teams from faking injuries is to fight fire with fire. If a team wishes to slow us down, then we can go glacier-sloth slow, faking our own injuries between every snap. Turn a 4 hour game into a 24 hour game. .

It's so absurd it might work. At some point they will have to address the issue due to fan ire.

Faking injuries will still happen if it stops the clock. There’s no on field punishment, so what is the incentive not to do it? They’re not going to have the win vacated if they end up winning. This is such a non solution.

Make it simple: any injury that stops the clock keeps you out of the following 5 defensive plays.

nah, should be until there is a change of possesion

And no other substitutions allowed except for the one who's injured.

And the players have to remain in the middle of the field, and the coaches have to remain on the sidelines. IOW... no more free time outs.

I still think that for both player safety and stopping fake injuries the injured or supposedly injured player should be out at least the rest of the series if not the rest of the half, but I also think that it should only be for the defense and that if it is an offensive player the offense should have to stay in a huddle and not go to the sideline and speak with the coaches as I would see very few reasons for the offensive unit to fake an injury.

Agree 100 percent.

• Schools and conferences can report the potential faking of injuries to the national coordinator of officials, which could lead to penalties for the school involved.

Boy, that should really scare the teams that pull this fake injury BS. A penalty --- after the fact, post game. Some arbitrary punitive damages, maybe? Woweee. Color me unimpressed, and this changes nothing.

basketball has fake injury penalties and that’s also a judgement call. Making it much harder than they need to make it…on purpose. Make it seem too complex that the solution isn’t evident so they can “study” it another year. Ugh

10 minutes or the remaining time of the quarter, whichever is greater.
