Like someone else already said, coaches will instruct their players not necessarily to fake injury, but that if they feel their muscle begin to tighten and we can't sub you out due to no huddle, go ahead and fall so we can get that muscle loosened up on the bench and you don't end up hurting yourself. I think that is a legitimate response to the no huddle and HUNH coaches will have to adjust to that.
There are a lot of muscle/tendon/ligament injuries that can occur from overexertion and exhaustion when a worn out player needs to come rest but can't get subbed out. That part of the player safety argument does have some merit. But I don't think player safety is the real reason coaches want it banned.
I agree. And I'll go as far as to say that if the NCAA doesn't change the rules to allow tired players to sub out, you will see more and more coaches start to use the fake injury deal to sub in their players. If HUNH teams don't like it, slow down and let the other team sub once in awhile...if not, we'll take it into our own hands and force you to slow down and get our subs in. Your choice, but you will go at our pace. Deal with it.

f not, we'll take it into our own hands and force you to slow down and get our subs in.
As for the sub rules being changed to address HUNH, I don't think anything will be done without some well contrived scientific studies indicating a link to the offense with increased injuries and not just more plays in general.

Then you will see a rule that does not allow an injuried player to return the rest of the series. Just deal with it and stop the bitching.
