SEC to Fine and Suspend Coaches for Fake Injuries, $50,000 Fine for First Offense
Nov 1, 2024, 10:25 PM
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey has issued a directive to coaches and athletic directors to stop players from feigning injuries during games. The memo, sent on Friday, outlines penalties for violations, including fines and suspensions. The first offense will result in a $50,000 fine for the head coach, the second offense will incur a $100,000 fine, and the third offense will lead to a suspension. Assistants are subject to the same penalties. Sankey emphasized the need to 'play football and stop the feigned injury nonsense.' This move aims to maintain the integrity of the game and prevent teams from gaining unfair advantages by faking injuries to create time-outs.
