Fake injuries

[4thngoal]

Sitting out the rest of the series or regulation time if under 2-3 minutes is not going to put anymore pressure on to play. EVEN IF it did, that is solely on the player and coaches. Ie: a shitty coach.
However it says that the NCAA takes injuries serious and they think adequate time should be given for evaluation.
After all, the clock starts 30 seconds after the injured player is off the field, 20 seconds later it's an incomplete pass and the clock stops, how much of an injury evaluation can be given in one minute? Meanwhile only a few seconds came off the game clock.
How can any good coach argue against a good thorough evaluation for the health of one of his injured players?

Apparently, "health" isn't a concern for MSUs defensive unit...and hasn't been for quite a while...

Ancient Football was notorious for faking injury when out of time outs.
ND was nicknamed the “Fainting Irish in ‘53.

#1 ND vs. Iowa —Faked an injury with 2 seconds to stop the clock at end of 1st half and scored a TD to even game at 7-7.

Iowa up 14-7 with 20 seconds in game and two Fainting Irish went down at the same time to stop the clock. Scored again.

I remember as a kid my dad talking about that game and the cheating Irish.

The infamous Fainting Irish!
60 years later, ND players in present time are clearly orchestrating an injury. Must be something about that program pushing the limits of the rules to win regardless of integrity...
Perhaps we need a team penalty at the time of the transgression OR a player suspension upon post game review?
