2022 NCAA rules changes address targeting, faking injuries

[phoenix4nu]

Just in time for the Indiana game:
"In an attempt to crack down on teams awarded an injury timeout after a player fakes an injury, schools and conferences will be able to report questionable scenarios to the national coordinator of officials. The coordinator will provide feedback. Any penalties levied would be up to the conference office or school involved."

Long story short... possibly reinstating ejected players for next game for targeting. Punted the ball on fake injuries.

It’s such a fine line on the injuries, how to you prove it’s fake, the only thing you can do is that player would have to miss multiple plays after his (injury).

I still think if there is an injury, that player should be held out until the next team timeout, score, or turnover. You know, for player safety.

I think he should be held out till the next opponent’s ball position… That would stop a lot of the flopping..

A player can not go back in the game untill the next series. Simple but logical fix.

Ejection for targeting is complete ********.

You miss 15 minutes of clock time if the game stops because of you. That would help but even that wouldn’t stop coaches from putting a designated injury faker in to stop the clock.

I think an "injury" should either be a timeout for the injured team or a 5 yard gain for the offense.

they should just adopt the NFL rule and treat all injuries real or fake as a lost timeout or 10 second runoff during the last 2 mins of each half

problem solved

CFB will not be able to figure that out...
