SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey emphasized the seriousness of faking injuries, stating, "As plainly as it can be stated: Stop any and all activity related to faking injuries to create time-outs." He urges adherence to the integrity of the game, highlighting the escalating accusations of feigned injuries disrupting the pace of gameplay, particularly against uptempo offenses. The memo clarifies that creating injury timeouts is disrespectful and calls for accountability from coaches caught in the act.
In detailing the established consequences for continued infractions, Sankey put forth a clear framework: "For the first offense, a public reprimand and a $50,000 fine; for the second, a $100,000 fine; and for a third offense, a suspension for the subsequent game." This strong stance indicates that the Southeastern Conference is taking action to preserve the sport's credibility and ensure the fairness of its contests.
