Watching this weekend’s games and nary a team had the problems seen at TSUN, becoming fainting goats to get a free time out.
how will Baylor and officials adapt?

It's strategy. If teams can run hurry up, teams will find ways to slow it down. There's no way to make rule that penalizes a potential injury. This whole "sit'm out a qtr" stuff could cost you a kid that just got the wind knocked out of him.

Yeah its too bad that people unethically exploiting rules make it tough on everybody. Not like its the first time though.
It’s real simple. Do not put officials in a place where they have to decide in the moment if he’s faking. The league can review the tape for stuff like coaches signaling it and how fast the player “recovers”. If the league determines it was done strategically to gain a competitive advantage (aka extra timeouts), they take away timeouts from the offending team before the next game for at least a half and potentially whole game if it’s repeat offender. It’s the perfect punishment. If teams cheat in recruiting or academics it cost future scholarships. If a player targets his penalty carries to the next game. I’d also throw in fines to the head coach increasing with the number of offenses.
The NFL takes away time outs now and has for years. So yeah, I’m pretty sure you can do that.
I will be interested to see how the SEC handles it in the off season… faking injuries to slow down the other team is chicken shat. Just like that QB that faked a slide this weekend.
