re: How can the NCAA combat the flopping/fake injuries?

This is difficult to do because of HIPAA. Announcing to the crowd or world that someone was faking is still HIPAA. The only way to do this is have built-in considerations such as making players stay out longer. The hard part there, as others have alluded, is keeping players from playing hurt to avoid being sat out.

But I think you could do this. Look at the average time someone spends out if they are actually hurt and make it around that time frame. Then you aren’t really punishing players who are actually hurt and need their ankle taped or something and only people who expect to come back the next play or two will avoid calling for the trainer.

It would force players not to go down and try to play through it.


They already do that.

Sure, but why continue to compound that problem by further penalizing injured players

"Injured" players sit for the rest of the series. If that doesn't stop it, make it the rest of the quarter or game.

You know, player safety and all that.

i think this is reasonable, especially the series

Right, and the NCAA is your appeal to authority.

The difference between taking one play off and staying on the field is negligible.

So easy to spot those who never played football.

Here is video of the worst of the worst, the fricking NY giants vs Female sheep. They kept doing it and doing it, it wasn't even funny, it got to be embarrassing.
