NEW RULES for Faking Injuries in the SEC

I think benching the player for the drive would be more effective....But at the same time, how they gonna prove someone is faking an injury. The first time the SEC penalizes a team is going to be interesting.

Here the thing, the SEC would have to have its own medical examiner run on the field and deem if an injury was real or not. Then possibly do follow through and follow them into the tent or beyond. Unless they do that, they can't deem any injury as real.....I say fake injuries keep on happening.

I think it's brilliant, and I never thought about this angle. The SEC office will review it, after the game is played, and not simply fine the university, but fine the head coach personally. I never thought about this angle. I like this.

They’ve managed to find the most dumbassed option amidst so many other good ones. It’s like rules committees go out of their way not to do what the fans propose.

You obviously don't understand how the rules committee works. They can't make up or change a rule whenever they want to, but the commissioner can make up a fine when he wants. He did what he had the power to do.

I expect a rule to be added during the next rule change period.

Seems like it would be hard to prove that a player faked an injury

Have you watched an OM game, or several of the other games where the player going down per the coach's orders is obvious to everyone? There's been many cases where the coach signals and the player that's standing there just fine goes down suddenly, and starts grabbing his leg or rolling around.

This is obvious enough that the average fan sitting at home notices and can tell without a doubt that it's fake, you don't think the officials and SEC office can tell?

This is geared towards those.

Lane Kiffin is gonna be broke after a couple games

It's good.

It's a fine and suspension of the coach after the game by the commissioner who has the power to do that at his discretion. No "proof" required, no trial no jury just good old common sense.

Like it, hope all this bullshite will stop. The fact that they are using as an example DeBoer's first pathetic attempt to get in on the unethical behavior as soon as he joined the SEC is too funny. The guy cant even fake injuries right.
