Nick Saban Urges College Football to Penalize Fake Injuries

Saban calls for a 'flop rule' to address the rising trend of players feigning injuries to disrupt the pace of games.

Nick Saban, former Alabama coach, emphasized the need for a rule penalizing fake injuries, citing integrity concerns in college football.
Kirk Herbstreit, a College GameDay colleague, supported Saban's call, suggesting replay could help identify and penalize obvious flops.
The issue gained attention after several incidents, including an Ole Miss game where players appeared to feign injuries to slow the game down.
Ole Miss has acknowledged the controversy and communicated with football officials to address concerns about recent injury claims.
The NCAA has previously considered rule changes but hesitated due to potential negative impacts on players with legitimate injuries.
