As the NCAA plans to stop fake injuries in college football with a new rule change

College football could have a change in the timeout rules in the coming season in order to end the perceived fake injuries if the NCAA can obtain proper approval.

The NCAA Football Rules Committee has proposed a significant change in the current time crossing regulations for the 2025 season, the NCAA said on Friday.

The committee recommended that medical staff enter the field to evaluate a player after the ball has been discovered by officials, this team of the player is charged with a break.

If the team did not remain overcontracts, the officers would rate a penalty of five meters.

All potential changes in football in football must be approved by the NCAA supervisory board for rules, which will meet on April 16 to discuss the proposal.

The proposed change in the timeout rules for injuries was introduced to combat what is regarded as an increasingly regarded problem in terms of players, apparently to make injuries in order to slow down the game pace or to avoid a break.

This is not the first time that elements within the NCAA have tried to curb fake injuries in football.

At the beginning of this month it was reported that the NCAA considered a change of rule This would force injured players to suspend the rest of the current drive of their team if they need medical help while they are still on the field.

Instead, the NCAA changed its proposal to avoid potentially incentives that are really injured if they stay on the field or run on the sidelines that are really injured, according to the NCAA national coordinator of official Steve Shaw.

“We really think that this is a good solution to the ventilate for injuries” Shaw said about Yahoo Sports.

The motivation for changing the time limit for injuries is to offer a team to prevent their players from making injuries, since the committee is of the opinion that the problem has a negative impact on the reputation of the game.

“The committee identified the period after the ball was discovered as the most outrageous violations of the timeout rule for injuries, and deals with the problem in this way,” said the head coach of Georgia, Kirby Smart, the co-chair of the committee.

Smart added: “If a defined time frame for an injured player is stopped, hopefully the strategy of having fake injuries should restrict.”

A prominent case of an apparently fake injury came than Ole Miss, who ran back Jones, fell to the ground during a game in September.

At that time, Matt Austin, Analyst for College Football Rules, confirmed that the NCAA rule book does not directly combine fake injuries and left civil servants without recourse to punish the law.

“There is actually nothing in the rule book that says that you can't do it,” said Austin on the show.

“There are very strong formulations that it is always unethical to fake an injury during the game. I know that the rules have spoken about it several times, but from now on they cannot do anything in the book. “

Kirk Herbstreit recently also has the practice of proclaimed Apparently advantageous injuries “unethical like hell”.

“This is college football. It drives me crazy, ”said Herbstreit during a game.

“They look around for a big game and suddenly he looks over and he just goes under. It's not necessarily against the rules, but it's hellish unethical. If you see this everywhere against these pace crimes, the boys simply go under the quotation unquote injury. “

Now the NCAA hopes to find a solution to a problem that College football wants to answer before the 2025 season.
