Who benefits the most if a new rule is made for next season that goes after the "fake" injury?
The teams that are running the tempo offenses.
Lane Kiffin is 3 steps ahead of the game.

So do you want to force an injured player to stay in the game rather than getting treatment? How do you plan to decide which "injury" is real and which is fake?

You are wrong if you think faking injuries to change play of game is new. About 1953, Notre Dame had three players drop when playing Iowa to stop the clock…ended up tying the game (I think). It was huge news at the time…sports pages nationwide went on a rant about it. ND people basically said FU.
Here USA an account from Wiki re: Frank Leahy.
“The controversy over the tie with Iowa stemmed from the fact that both of Notre Dame's touchdowns, one late in the first half and the other late in the game, came after a player had faked an injury. In both instances, Notre Dame had used up their allotment of time outs, and under normal circumstances, time would have expired in each half before they could run another play.
“Faking an injury was a widely used ploy in football as a means of buying time, but in most cases there was no impact on the outcome of a game. In Notre Dame's case, they used this ruse not once but twice in the same game, and both times they managed to score touchdowns.
“A new rule was implemented the following year forbidding players from faking injuries, and many saw this as punishment directed at Notre Dame, who were branded as the "Fainting Irish."”
