The NCAA Football Rules Committee will consider a proposed rule change intended to discourage players from faking injuries that result in unwarranted timeouts, according to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN).

In a proposal submitted by the American Football Coaches Association, a player who goes down on the field and receives medical attention would be required to sit out the rest of that team's possession, via ESPN.

Under the current rules, players must sit out at least one play before entering the game once again.
