Hauck- AFCA President

So what does the president of the AFCA do ?

I am proud of Hauck for getting the nod--there are a lot of college football coaches. I think and hope most of what he will do will occur in the off season, which seems logical, but I don't know.
 
AFCA has already sent 2 proposals to the Football Oversight Committee:

1. Players who fake an injury will be required to sit out the rest of the drive unless the head coach calls a timeout to get him back into the game. The head coach will also be fined for multiple infractions.

2. Moving and reducing the days of the transfer portal window to 10 from January 2-12 following the conclusion of all bowl games. Also eliminates Spring transfer portal window.

My question though is how will they determine if a player truly does fake an injury? Does the ref go ever and check? How exactly does that work? That'll be interesting to see the enforcement mechanism is of that.
 
I agree--if a kid says I twisted my ankle, I hurt my knee, my ribs hurt, how does an official on the field during the game that is in all likelihood a layman, not an EMT, paramedic, PA MD or.DO conclude, " You're faking it ! " and penalize his team ?

Usually, it's pretty obvious. Especially when a team is about to score and then a guy on defense falls to the ground acting hurt, then jumps up and runs off the field after they had enough time to figure out what they're going to do.

If you get hurt, for real, there will be signs. You don't get hurt and then magically you're okay and can run off the field.
 
Okay, Griz Addict, I know you're right--a broken leg, collarbone, or arm doesn't instantly heal itself, but what about the kid who has the wind knocked out of him during a tackle or experiences temporarily a severe cramp in his calf.and can't walk let alone run ? How can an official prove this student athlete, possibly writhing in pain on the turf, is faking it ?

What about the kids who are healed by miracles? We can’t have officials ruling on what is and isn’t a miracle. “Hey, Ted, I have that as a routine non-miracle. Roll clock. Kid is done for the drive. See you at bowling on Tuesday. Tell Phyllis and the kids I say hello.”

No, sir! There are exceptions/exemptions/concessions afforded the religious universities. BYU and Notre Dame would be stopping game clock with impunity because Ted isn’t going to play God.
 
And I would really be impressed with some faith healing of an injured player's compound leg fracture right on the field--the stadium could put it on the big screen, and TV could run it in slo mo and have Marty comment, " Jesus has some juice, Jay ! "

You are FUNNAY, Brother CDA !!!

You know it when you see it. After the play is over and the offensive team is running hurry-up and the defensive player is running around yelling commands and then all of a sudden sits down and signals to the ref he’s hurt. Happens ALL THE TIME

People need to stop defending the players all the time.

Not defending them at all. I get quite frustrated when it happens too. In fact it happened so much this year in College Football that they felt the need to implement this rule. No issues at all with this rule change.

All I’m saying is I’m curious to see how this would be enforced. Does the ref come over and evaluate him while he’s laying down? Can the replay booth review it to decide if it’s real or fake? I get that it’s usually pretty clear cut when it happens, but what if the kid were to fake limp off the field to exploit the rule?

I’m just fascinated to see what that would look like.

It would come down to whether Gary, the humble alpaca manure extract salesman by day, side judge by night, determines that the kid is faking it. “Throw that flag, Gary. We’ve seen this song and dance!”
