if you go down injured and have to be helped off the field you have to sit out the rest of that drive

No way. So a player tweaks an ankle, gets it taped up, and they’re ready to play again but they’re forced to sit out that drive? No thanks.

Only if the clock stops. It's part of the downside, however faking injuries would have some real consequences which I think is a good tradeoff. There's never a perfect solution.

I've seen some of these recent games where they were obviously faking injuries to slow things way down, like the Illinois-South Carolina bowl game.  Some kind of action is necessary, or it's only going to get worse.  Either make a rule like this, or give refs discretion to call something like a "flopping" penalty.

If you tweak your ankle there’s a solid chance you need to miss that drive regardless. Ankle injuries are a BITCH.
 

This rule could also help with player health in general. Rather than rushing someone back into the game when they need to take a break after getting hurt

Definitely need a rule to stop the faking injuries, but I don’t know if I like sitting the remainder of the drive.  My big objection is that “rest of the drive” could be one play or 15 plays.  Maybe have to miss a certain number of plays?  I don’t know, but there needs to be something.

Too bad coaches can’t just play by the rules instead of manipulating things to their advantage.  Actually, this isn’t really manipulating the rules, it’s outright cheating because you know there’s no consequences.

These are STUDENT athletes, most universities will not accept transfers in January because they have limited spots in their classes and they are already full.  Besides, there is still a spring transfer window.

I feel like we've seen it a few times in our games too with our fast tempo offense.

To me, most of the time when an injury is "faked" is when a team is desperately driving for a tie, or a win and they didn't get out of bounds, and they need to stop the clock. When that happens, the clock needs to start immediately when the "injured" player officially leaves the field. AND the only substitutions that are allowed is for the position of the "injured" player.

I see it far more on the defensive side of the ball than on the offensive.

      What sucks about our NCAAT run was that had to be the year Covid limited capacity and pushed all the games to Indianapolis. It was anywhere closeby we would have had a lot of people travelling.

      "Hayden Fry NTSU Coaching Film Collection"

      Corky Nelson was in 1AA about ‘83. Hayden’s were in ‘76 ( biggest guarantee NT ever got. Darrell Royal said if we were good enough to play we were good enough to split the gate. Also nice that President of UT was Loraine Rogers an NT alum). Earl Campbell beat us in ‘76 not UT (Miss. State clipped our best defensive player out of bounds and put him out for UT game). Jordan Case was QB for second Fry game against UT( about ‘79). We ran a reverse with a pass at the end of the play. The UT DB was soo confused that he tripped over his own feet trying to get back and a floater of a pass got caught at the one. Both UT games with Fry were thrillers. People who think we should have stayed in Missouri Valley did not know that the expansion committee in that league met secretly and added Indiana State and Illinois State when Fry wanted to add Southern Miss. We had the votes to get into SWC but TCU & SMU LOBBIED to keep us out. I was in NT President’s box for Corky’s game. UT Presidents box was right next to us. The UT President was profusely sweating when we were nine points up going into fourth quarter. Only time I ever saw UT students allowed around the end zone and on the field. The refs could not tell where the end line of the end zone was and called a TD even though they could not tell if receiver was in or out. Maybe the best job of scouting and coaching I have ever seen and we had 1AA limits on number of players which really hurt us in fourth quarter when defense was really tired.

      PAC is back

      The PAC will have revenue outside the media contracts to lure potential new members: That money stays with the conference, to be used as the Beavers and Cougars see fit. The 10 departed members don’t get a dime. Combine the $100 million from the Rose Bowl with the NCAA Tournament units-based revenue (approximately $75 million paid out over six years) and the distributions withheld from the 10 former members ($65 million), and the Pac-12 should have $240 million or so available. And that doesn’t include the $24 million due to WSU and OSU from the CFP revenue-sharing plan (roughly $6 million each for two years). It’s enough to supplement athletic operations in Pullman and Corvallis, Oregon, fund the conference office and Pac-12 Enterprises and use for expansion-related expenses.
