The NCAA is instituting new rule changes in college football for the 2025 season, one of which will address a questionable tactic. Per Alex Byington of On3.com, the new timeout rules will penalize teams for faking injuries in hopes of slowing the game down.

“The injury timeout proposal was made by the NCAA Football Rules Committee after many in the college football community raised concerns about strategies in which players fake an injury to stop the opposition’s momentum or to avoid using an allotted timeout,” an NCAA statement late Wednesday night said.
