What should be done about the faking cramps/injuries?

[HeismaNole]

It is constant across football but blatantly obvious in yesterday’s game.

You gotta implement something like they’re out for four plays or for that series or something. It’s clear as day what they’re doing to get extra timeouts or stop momentum.

After the second one each half, it costs a time out.

Heavy fines after the game is an easy step.
Oh, the guy with a cramp came back 2 minutes later? 250,000
We have video tape of sideline telling him to fall down? 500,000
Treat it like storming the field where it grows.

Also, should be like targeting. If we can suspend a player for next weeks game based on in the moment review, we can do it tow days later after some video review and team trying to defend it.


Not THE solutions, but steps.

I like this but when it is obviously a fake it should cost the team a timeout each and every time. No need to give any team any grace towards this. Stoops’ team have done this a lot throughout his time here and not a fan of us doing it either but was pleasantly surprised we didn’t hardly do all all yesterday, if we did it at all. Can’t recall when we did, but know they did several times.

Its impossible to prove either way so it will continue.

 

[Glenn's take]

Herbstreit got mad about it last week in the Tennessee and Oklahoma game. Said it wasn't illegal but unethical as he'll.

I say make them sit the rest of the series.

If you treat it as “injured player has to sit out for that series”, you can implement this without saying it’s fake or not.

The opposing team should be granted an additional timeout
