Syracuse fined $25K for feigning injuries vs Clemson

I think the result is just going to be that players will become better actors. To do something about it you need to require players to sit at least 2 possessions if their injury results in a delay of game. Justify it as a concern for safety.

$25k won't deter it if it helps them win games.
Agreed. The penalty should start at 500k and exponentially increase throughout the season. The following season, a repeat program should see its initial penalty begin at the average of the previous season's penalty total. So on and so forth.

In-game, any player who is hurt during a drive should be required to sit out until the next drive (whether the injury is real of feigned). Assuming we care about players' health.
