Syracuse fined $25K for feigning injuries vs Clemson

Advertisement
On Monday, the ACC announced it is issuing a $25,000 fine and public reprimand of Syracuse for the “feigning of injuries” in the Orange’s win over Clemson on Saturday. The ACC provided further details regarding its decision in a statement.

“With 9:25 remaining in the fourth quarter, Syracuse violated NCAA Football Rule 3-3-6-b, which addresses the feigning of injuries by players, declaring it ‘unethical and contrary to the spirit of the rules,'” the statement read.


“The actions by the two players – especially with the concurrent action by the coach in the team area – were a clear attempt to gain an unmerited advantage by stopping the game in order to secure an injury timeout.”

Good. Levy these penalties before they play us and do the same thing. Hopefully there are increased penalties every time this happens.

This. Absolutely hate the "if you ain't cheating you ain't trying " attitude. Be good enough to beat a team straight up, or take the loss like a man.

It's a cultural cancer that goes beyond the playing field, to be honest.

This. Hopefully the fines get to a point where you cut it out or a coaches suspension

Player safety is priority but if your using it to an advantage is bush league. Win with better players, coaching, or scheme

Left out is that the fine is being donated to the CU collective that supports football talent acquisitions.
