My proposal for handling the fake injury epidemic

If they have a TO they have to burn it?

Injured player can not return to game until a change in possession

This is sadly the answer, but it would encourage players and coaches to play hurt and likely get hurt worse

not sure there is an answer

i could see maybe sitting out a play or two

They have to sit out a play under the current rules. You’ll often see them run back in on the play after.

Solution is easy, 15 yard personal fouls

There’s already a stoppage in play and the replay official isn’t doing anything else

Make a retrospective assessment and if it happens 3 times in a season pull a scholarship the next year.

this ^^^^^^^

or make it a 10 second runoff of the clock then start clock running on ready to play

Nothing is going to change. College football is at a point of erring on player safety. There are minor injuries that feel a lot worse for a second. For example a stinger. Especially if you aren’t used to it. First time it happened to me I thought I was going to lose the use of my arm. Came off. Whirled it around and was good to go right away.
As someone said would we have a player play through an injury to not incur a penalty and get hurt worse.

It’s part of the game now. Teams just need to deal with it. For all kiffins crying one week. His team does it the next week. Or maybe they were legit injuries. I don’t know.

Rule proposal: if a player requires on the field evaluation or any assistance to leave the field, he cannot return to the game until 15 minutes of game time has elapsed.

For targeting: Team must play a man down for 1 play. On each subsequent targeting, 2 plays, then 4 plays. This will get head down tackling out of the game.

Fine the athletic department every time you're caught doing it.

Make him sit out a quarter
