NCAA Tweaks Rules for Targeting, Fake Injuries Ahead of 2022 CFB Season

The NCAA is instituting a number of rule changes for the upcoming college football season, including some that deal with targeting and the faking of injuries to stop the clock and slow no-huddle offenses.

The Associated Press shared the changes:

  • Players ejected in the second halves of games for targeting may not be suspended for the first half of the next game depending on the results of an appeal.
  • Schools and conferences can report the potential faking of injuries to the national coordinator of officials, which could lead to penalties for the school involved.
