Booing is classless but there should be a rule that if you go down you sit out two serious after you go down or even a full quarter. I mean if you want to side on player safety that will help with player safety.

Booing During Injuries

They are also coached to know the “calls” for when to take a dive to slow down a no huddle. This is no big secret but the color guy even admitted when he was at Ohio state they had terminology for it (I forgot what he called it now) so don’t put all the blame on Neb fans for this- to me the Indiana stunt (repeated at least five times) was Just as if not even more classless.
Teams should lose a timeout In an injury and if they don’t have one it’s a five yard dead ball penalty. We’ll see how many dives there are then.
And if you noticed the coach went out on the field to talk to a ref never even glancing at his (injured) kid.
That’s a little extreme I think but that would work as well.
Well this thread takes the place of the "refs jobbed Nebraska again" thread after every game. I watched a game where one of their def tackles chased down a play, got his leg rolled up on and stayed down, I could hear jeers and boos, pathetic. I watched the coaches son obviously do something to his shoulder and the crowd booed and jeered. Even if you are the jury in the crowd meshing out verbal punishment for a team you think are taking injuries, when you are wrong and it is legitimate it makes you look really stupid.

My thoughts exactly. All the trash talking. Cheapshots. And then the fake injuries to top it off. Not a lot of respect for the way Indiana plays after watching that game

Until the NCAA figures out a decent punishment, and begins implementing that, you will see fans and players frustrated by this. Maybe if you had to sit at least half of a quarter, for the ‘well-being’ of the athlete? It’s apparent it’s being used to help control the pace of the game, and even the nicest fans grow weary of it.
When your offense is predicated on trickeration and getting lined up before the defense has a chance to react, this is what you are encouraging. Take the good with the bad. Get used to it...the game has changed, for the worst.
I agree with many on here, if you are "injured" you need to sit out the quarter or next quarter for "player safety.". It makes no sense for an injured player to lay down for two minutes, stopping the game, only to return one or two plays later....pure manipulation of the rules and poor sportsmanship

maybe it was their feelings that were hurt
So if a guy goes down awkward, isn’t sure, so wants to have a trainer look at it before getting up he sits for a quarter? I don’t think you’ve thought this through.
Creating a rule for this is just as dicey as the booing. Some fans booed a guy who was clearly having a problem yesterday. IU coaches were yelling at the fans behind them, but after 4 flops you get what you get.
C'mon, are you series?
