Sankey puts his foot down in faking injuries.

[El Perro Grande]

The cynic in me thinks no SEC team with a chance of any postseason play will ever face a real penalty for this, and MSU will be the first to be made an example of to prove they enforce the rule.

I hate to tell you guys, but he lives for you, arguing with him. Don't fall for the bait.

I’m tempted to hit that “show ignored content” button, she must have said something really genius this time. But I’m not gonna do it

17 off with trying to apply my comment back to me.

- NCAA rules govern NCAA games.
- If Sankey wants NCAA rules to change, he should go to the NCAA and have the rules changed.
- Its 17ing stupid to penalize SEC programs/coaches for following NCAA rules in a game.
- Its 17ing stupid to not let SEC programs play by the rules while their opponents(non-conference) are able to play be the rules.


If Sankey wants to lead, then he can work to get others behind him and push for the NCAA to change the rules. Thats leadership.

I like it. I care about what's fair and dare I say moral more than worrying about following rules that rightly didn't have the forethought to address this situation. People get caught up in rules instead of common sense sometimes.

It’s taken you this long?

I still think they should make the player sit as well rest if the series at least for "safety" if they have to stop the game.

I like it. Not sure how effective it will be and no doubt it only matters in conference games and he won't apply it otherwise. And of course this is noticed by the NCAA and as usual they will act now that the SEC has acted. Pretty sure it's mostly an OM issue anyway.

Do you watch any college football games?

It's really not thst easy. If a player knows that stopping play means he leaves the field for more than one play, he may be reluctant to admit an injury and wind up playing through an injury that needs medical attention.

50 or 60 years ago, players were expected to just suck it up and keep playing. These days we want players to get whatever medical assistance they nay need. They have to find a good balance.

It’s an SEC problem more than anywhere else but Ole Miss does it alot more than anyone else in the SEC.

No Lane. Never

Oh I get that; I hate the fake injuries as much as anybody. It makes the games almost u watchable, but if ole miss never did it again it’d still be a big problem.

what does it say for those of us who can't view tweets at work?

Sounds like it's time for a new work place. How do they expect you to keep up with current events?

 

[The Peeper]

How can he expect the Univ of Northern MS to compete then? Attorneys from there gathering to sue as we discuss

 

[tired]

17 that clown.
If its allowed per the NCAA rules, a coach should be able to do it.
Yes its a weak move. Yes its annoying. But if Sankey wants it out of the game, then have the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel change the 17ing rules.

The SEC is the NCAA.

You’re such a butthurtt lil biitch sometimes.

Your progressive ire should be shifted to the childish coaches and programs that promote this garbage. To me, it’s akin to falsely screaming “rape!” which not only eats up time and resources to respond to, but also creates a stigma where people initially doubt any injury until it’s confirmed. It’s a horrible and immoral thing to do in a sport where injuries can be serious or fatal.

It’s ridiculous that a commissioner has to issue a royal edict about something this dishonest and childish, much less the need for a toothless bureaucracy to issue rules to enforce something difficult to prove.

Handling this in-house by Sankey is the right move. And your solution is MORE oversight from NCAA??

Except for the non sequitor about progressive ire, This is correct. It’s dishonest ********, and at least Sankey had the balls to say something.
