Moderators CJ Vogel Posted November 1 Moderators Share Posted November 1 Pretty significant Friday news drop. The SEC will begin punishing head coaches if it is determined a player or team is ‘feigning’ injuries to create timeouts. Of course, this has been quite the conversation surrounding Ole Miss this season and throughout much of the conference as well. Perhaps not as much in Texas circles, but it will certainly have lasting impacts around the conference. On first infraction, a head coach will be fined $50,000. A second infraction will be a fine of $100,000. And a third could result in a suspension. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingForTheCorner Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 That great, but could they also start cracking down on the fake penalties? 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspired73 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Personally, I think a better solution would have injury timeouts charged as a team timeout. Frankly, a lot of those nicked guys can get off the field. I also think any 'injured' player should have to sit out a minimum number of plays..........like 10 or so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuco Ramirez Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 It’ll be interesting to see how this is enforced. It can be difficult to determine if some injuries are real or faked. Of course, some are clearly faked (I’m looking at you Ole Miss.) I agree with other posters here that a team penalty during the game would be better. That will put an end to the shenanigans pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashtag Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 I think making it so injured players can’t return until the next series would crack down the most on this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make it a TO. When the coaches start losing their TOs this stupidity will stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horns96 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Unenforceable, but a beginning. Others above have already posted the real remedy- players sit out a series they leave for injury or charge a timeout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of requiring an injured player to have to sit out the rest of the drive. Would significantly reduce fake injuries and give medical teams more time to evaluate injuries without the pressure of holding back a player from recentering the game.

Realist Horn Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 I’m going to modify this statement and give it to my wife to crack down on fake “headaches”. I’ll send it to the married men if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDI Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 I would say sit out the series the injury occurred in and the next one also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say, the league should impose the same fines and suspension on officials for phantom holding calls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bierce Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 I think it would be great if we could have the review booth send medical teams onto the field to conduct a full diagnosis to determine if the injury is legit. That would really speed up the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
