Coaches are expected to discuss a new rule change that would curb the rise of feigned injuries in college football, according to a report.
Those discussions are set to take place at the AFCA convention in Charlotte on Tuesday, per Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger.
The rule change would require any injured players to sit out the remainder of the drive that they exit. Currently, injured players are only required to miss 1 play before being eligible to return to the field.
Here's an interesting discussion point in Charlotte at the AFCA convention to slow feigning injuries: Any injured player would be sidelined the rest of the drive. Coaches could use a timeout to reinstate player.It's expected to be on the agenda at head coaches' meetings today.
— Ross Dellenger (@RossDellenger) January 14, 2025Feigned injuries became a major subplot of the 2024 college football season, particularly in the SEC. Multiple coaches complained about the tactic throughout the year. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey sent out a mid-season memo warning teams against continuing to fake injuries.
Here’s an excerpt from Sankey’s memo detailing how the SEC handled suspected feigned injuries from Nov. 1 onwards:
A feigned injury will be found to have occurred unless the National Coordinator accepts clear medical information establishing the player had to disrupt the game for an injury time out and modifies the feigned injury finding in a timely manner.
It’s unclear at this time if any national rules will be developed to help curb the feigned injuries trend, but the discussion at the AFCA convention is certainly a start.
