Coaches discussing "faking injury" and other topics at AFCA convention

This stuff is always dicey, cuz the last thing you want...is a player trying to play through injury to avoid repercussions

I think that's a great solution. Those fake injuries traditionally haven't been Joe Schmo going down, it's usually someone smart enough to know it's needed

I don't feel this punishment leads to repercussions.. if you are injured on the field it is probably best to be out at least a drive following the injury, but it'll stop a cramp from killing a 2 minute offense haha

If he's actually injured then he should be sitting for at least a little bit anyway. What about this would push someone to play through an injury when there is no penalty if they do sit out?

 

[mirvin88]

I’ve been saying that all year. Sit the drive. They should be properly evaluated for “injury” anyway.

 

[MiamisMoperiestMopes]

this is the way.

 

[Da Jumbo Mutombo]

My only question is why did this solution take so long. It's a clear cut solution.

If you're hurt and can play, then you can get off the field. If you're hurt and can't play, you shouldn't be playing that drive anyway.

The penalty is sitting the whole drive in a crucial moment...people risk it all when adrenaline is pumping

But without the rule they would go in anyway because "the adrenaline is pumping". So if anything, this would protect them by making them sit out

If a kid is playing through an injury they’ll do it regardless of this rule being in place or not. If they’re injured and run off the field, they wouldn’t have to sit. If they’re injured enough where they can’t walk off the field, they need to be pulled for evaluation anyway.

Sitting out 1 play and knowing you can go back in is way different than knowing you're out for the whole drive

 

[dk72]

Sitting out 1 play and knowing you can go back in is way different than knowing you're out for the whole drive

But if they are so hurt they can't get off the field and have to disrupt the game, then they are too hurt to come right back in after 1 play anyway

That's fine. I'm talking about players who could come off for minor injuries instead of making it worse by staying on.

Then they can still do that. This rule is about players that lay on the field, stopping the other team's drive and momentum....often fake. But if real, then if you can't get off the field right away, you clearly are hurt enough that you should sit for a while.

You could also just penalize the team if the kid is walking around fine than suddenly drops to the ground like they are shot after looking to the sideline.

 

[L A M P]

Sit the drive. Easy peasy.

Dont' give refs any more reasons to toss a flag please

Here on to be known at CIS as the "Butch Davis Rule" sourced back to the 2019 debacle against FIU:

From StateOfTheU.com:

On potentially five or more occasions during Saturday night’s game, a Panther player fell to the ground untouched with an apparent injury while Miami was on offense. This caused game officials to stop the game for a short break so the FIU athletic training staff could attend to that player.

But what it really did was broke the Miami offense’s rhythm and slowed the game down. After the Hurricanes caught on to what the Panthers were doing, multiple players, including quarterback Jarren Williams, would demonstratively react to officials after seeing the FIU player just fall.

The CBS Sports broadcast team also quickly caught on to what the Panthers were doing and accused FIU of intentionally flopping and faking injuries.

FIU coach Butch Davis denied the allegation in his post-game news conference and fired back at the Hurricanes and anyone else who believed his team was flopping intentionally to gain a competitive advantage.

“I’d like for them to look at our medical reports,” Davis was quoted by the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel as saying. “I guarantee you: I’ve never coached a football team that has had as many hamstring and groin injuries this entire season, and this is the truth, okay?

“It’s a shame when somebody boos when people get injured. We didn’t boo when their kid broke his elbow.”

Davis saying “their kid” was in reference to DeeJay Dallas exiting the game in the third quarter with a gruesome elbow injury.

LINK: Like college basketball, college football needs a flopping rule

Total POS maneuver and cover-up by Butch. The same antics by his son from another Lane Kiffin triggered the SEC to handle that BS going forward:

• First Offense: Head coach receives a public reprimand and a $50,000 fine.
• Second Offense: Head coach receives another reprimand and a $100,000 fine.
• Third Offense: Head coach receives another reprimand and will be suspended for his program's next game. -- Per memo obtained by ESPN.

Well done Sankey

Keep fake injury **** in soccer where it belongs
