NCAA Implements New Rules to Combat Fake Injuries in College Football

The NCAA has approved a series of rule changes aimed at curbing the issue of players faking injuries during college football games. These modifications will charge teams with a timeout for any injury assessments conducted by medical staff after the play has been spotted, a move intended to discourage teams from using deceptive tactics to gain an advantage. This initiative includes formally addressing the Oregon 12-men loophole and seeks to enhance the integrity of the game, with final approvals set to take effect in the upcoming season.
