Wow I can’t believe they’re actually going to do something.

That’s not chump change and especially for assistants.

After a few coaches get dinged this will stop the nonsense.

Again just shocked.

LSU is in trouble.

Ole Miss should be able to finally play a fast game tomorrow.

Are they actually gonna let teams sub when they're supposed to? That's the only reason we did it. If so, then this is a good thing.

They should concentrate more on the horrible officiating than on this...

How will they determine this anyways?

I'd think they could use replay. If a player looks to the sideline and then suddenly goes down it's a good indication. If the player soon returns to the game then it's even more obvious.

I still think any player that's injured should have to sit out the rest of that drive.

They claim to care about player safety that would be the safe thing to do

Here's the letter:

By what objective criteria do you determine a player to be feigning injury?

As much as I'd like for all the fake injury BS to stop, I fear this will have unintended consequences.

Read the posted letter, it explains the process.

Lane and Kelly better put a fund aside.

Yeah I thought it was pretty cheap for Ross Dellinger to bring it up about us in the Tennessee game. As I recall, it was the first time we did it and IT WAS DUE THE OFFICIALS not following proper procedures and allowing us to match up with their offensive personnel after a change of possession. Even Matt Austin said they screwed up.

Well if it looks like “a sniper from the upper deck” just took you down, I think it’s a pretty safe assumption…..

Objective visual Criteria: Dude walking onto /off of / around the field looks like he was hit by a sniper.

Whatever the consequences the language of this is incredibly clear and fake injuries will/should stop with immediate effect. I would be all for coaching suspensions on the 2nd determination.

agreed. and if this is the case then the officials should be publicly reprimanded and suspended 3 games and lose playoff / bowl privileges.

Once again, defensive adaptations are curbed immediately, while offenses are allowed to do all their nonsense with no repercussions.
