re: Consequences for false injury reports in the SEC.

It depends. If the opposing team or conference official flag the player report for investigation, team practice videos and medical staff records are reviewed and interviews with staff, coaches and players are conducted. The SEC tracks "doubtful" as a 25% chance to play. If the investigation indicates the player's injury status was misrepresented based on practice week vs game participation, there can be a fine levied.

I also think it is safe to say that Lane, who has been warned about this during his time at Ole Miss and due to his current tension with the SEC, would receive little leeway if something appears fishy in the reporting. That said, injury reporting is a fine solely against the school.

In game fake injuries are the only medical shenanigans that can directly affect the coach.
