Should the NCAA ban players faking injuries

In the off-season? Or is that impossible to do?
ETA: ban the act of faking injuries, not the player.

What a stupid thread

Yes. Can be done easily.
“If a player isn’t really hurt, it’s a penalty.”
Just add it to the rule books.

Making it to where injured players have to sit out the rest of the drive / or quarter is about the only to stop it.

"penalty on #5 for faking an injury"
#5 ends up having torn ACL
Welp

I agree it would be hard but it’s becoming egregious.

Maybe we could extend that to car wrecks and workman's comp, too.

Make them sit until a change of possession. This one just might work except down in the red zone (maybe)

Yes!
Let them add on-field diagnosis to the reply officials.
What could go wrong?

Should they? No. These fast offenses bend the rules themselves and no one ever seems to address that.
Will they? They'll probably get around to it. The perception is that offense sells (although it doesn't really).

Watching the opposing coach was funny lol.

Simple fix would be to make a rule that if a player goes down they have to miss a minimum of 1 quarter to make sure they are well enough to play.

Flopping has become routine. ND faked 2 injuries this season against UGA. It was obvious to everyone. When a team member has to tackle you from behind to let you know to get down because you are “hurt” it gets people’s attention. When a player falls down, stands up and starts pointing at his eye. Trainers run out and spend 10 minutes looking at his eye and squirting water in it. Why could this not have taken place on the sidelines? First reports were that his contact was dislodged. He couldn’t get off the field when he is practically on the sideline? Afterwards the ND coach couldn’t even get his story straight. Despite the lengthy eye exam and water squiring, he said the guy was cramping. Both these flops came when UGA was on the move, playing fast and ND was gasping for breath. The crowd and the tv announcers called ND out for these cheap tactics BIG TIME but nothing was done about it. This was the first time I was aware of this tactic but I’ve seen it several times since in other games and read that Miami’s coach said Tech pulled it on them. It’s not right, it’s not fair and should not be tolerated. There should be rules requiring an injured player to sit a quarter or more. If they are really hurt it’s no hardship but it should make others think before they try such a cheap tactic

Just kick them out of the game.
Sportsmanship used to mean something.

You are right red eye. Now everyone just seems to give a wink and a nod to cheating.

Good luck with that one. The NCAA has been on the wrong side of a lot of things. I don't think they're going to look to make waves on player safety.
An interesting thing might be reviewing a team's behavior over the course of a season and if it's shown to be a trend or glaring problems, take away one of their second half time outs for the entirety of the following season. Other than coaches on the way out, not many coaches likely to test their fates on this. And while it is a disadvantage, you could have a committee/appeals process like every other bureaucratic bullshite the NCAA has.

When cheating has become acceptable it’s time to take action. No one wants to penalize a truly injured player but some of these flops are ridiculous. A friend said he actually saw a player smirking on tv as his trainers surrounded him. It worked as the other team lost momentum and had to punt.
The NCAA needs to address this but I’m not holding my breath. When have they ever done the right thing

Why not the obvious fakes during fb games?

There have been deaths in football, people pushed too hard. So if a player just randomly falls over, it needs to be a protocol, treat it as a medical issue and he's out for the game. I'm not talking about someone during a play, I'm talking about the guy who is standing there, and then collapses.

This makes the most sense.
