What is Butch going to do?
"The American Football Coaches Association has asked the NCAA rules committee to take up the issue of players faking injuries when it meets next month.
The AFCA Ethics Committee voted in January to recommend that the NCAA rules committee address the practice, which has caused tension within the sport for years. Rather than use a timeout, defensive players will often fake an injury in order to stop the clock and slow the momentum of the opposing offense.
"Our Ethics Committee, which suggests rules changes to the NCAA, said by unanimous consent that this has got to stop," said AFCA Executive Director Todd Berry. "So they asked the Rules Committee to do something about it. It's bad for football."
