AFCA asks NCAA rules committee to address players faking injuries

[DGUtley]

American Football Coaches Association asks NCAA rules committee to address players faking injuries.

We've all seen it – an offense is rolling down the field against a gassed defense that's getting shredded like mild cheddar at Skyline Chili. Then, all of the sudden, a defensive tackle somehow sprains his ankle while walking to the line of scrimmage. It is painfully obvious when it happens, but so far the only punishment has been a spattering of boos from the crowd and a rule that the injured player must come out of the game for one (1) play before returning to action.


If it pisses you off, just imagine how much it pisses the opposing coaches off. And they're finally pissed off enough to demand something be done about it.
"We'll have heavy debate," Shaw said, "and see where that goes."

The NFL charges a timeout or run off if this occurs in the last 2 minutes and the player has to leave the field for at least one play.

Maybe something along the lines of basketball's "anti-flopping" rules could be applied.
