Posted April 17Apr 17 Moderator Humm. A charged TO if medical staff goes on the field. If no TOs left, a 5-yard penalty. NCAA approves rule changes to combat players faking injuries - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel has approved changes to the injury timeout rules in an effort to curtail players faking injuries.
April 18Apr 18 Well to be a bit more clear. A charged timeout if the ball is spotted by the officials and THEN a player goes down and medical staff has to go on the field. Which is better but it still feels underhanded and the appearance makes it feel like player safety isn't being taken seriously. However, I'd say at least 95% of injuries are addressed before he ball is spotted and those would not incur a time out or penalty. Additionally, the Lanning rule has gotten some clarity in the rules update. Gotta love how Dan in year 3 with his 12 man brilliance has put a permit any mark on the sport with a rule change.
