Possible new "fake injury rule" could cost team timout or penalty. ESPN

"When the One Great Scorer comes to write against our name, He won't write whether we won or lost, but how come we got gypped at Notre Dame".

SEC teams have often been the examples.

I wonder what people out there think about this? Say um, like a Kirk Ferentz, James Franklin, our incredible hawkeye fans.
Good ole Jimmy Franks that scumbag … I remember those antics when Iowa was number 3 in the nation or 4th a few years back - total scumbag move by the scumbag himself
 
If the officials have to call a timeout for an injured player, that player is out untill the next first down.
 
Notre Dame pulled a fake one on us in 1953. Gave them a chance to tie.

Coach and player later like yeah we did it. NCAA changed rules then in response
ND actually did it twice--at the end of the half as well as at the end of the game. And the second time two ND players were in huddle and, almost simultaneously "collapsed." As a result of the blatant cheating, ND scored each time to be gifted a 14-14 tie, which still cost them the national title. No Iowa fan should ever forget the Fainting Irish.

This is dumb. Too subjective. Why not just institute a rule that a player is ruled ineligible to return for that half if an injury resulting in a delay occurs in the last 5 minutes of the half? That will automatically eliminate this kind of thing.

I agree with you on that.

I'm wasn't saying I am all with what this rule proposed is. Just shared the article

you forgot mark douche-tonio
 
Look the easiest way is if said player injured he is not aloud to return to game until teams next possession,

Super easy fix.

But would coaches then put in backup players to take injury if need a breather?

It’s a crooked line for sure
 
Did I miss it? Any mention of flops being included? Sounds like they are wary of using replay.
