NCAA approves rule changes to combat players faking injuries


I think the refs should have the ability to throw a personal foul unsportsmanlike flag if they see someone clearly faking an injury. Just having the ability to throw it should turn that shite way down.

Also let it sit in the ground, the gas is coming out regardless in oil plays, so use that first.
