Here’s ESPN’s summary of the rule changes for 2025. I don’t think the rule regarding faking injuries is severe enough, but it’s probably better than nothing.
I’d have no career without injury timeouts. 
I agree with the rule regarding fake injuries. I just think they have opened a can of worms as to whether or not there really is an injury or not. Sometimes it is obvious but not always. It could be very well there is an injury and the game officials discount it. If the player is definitely injured and the officials wave it off there could be a wave of law suits involved. In other words it is pretty hard to tell if a player is really injured or not. Sometimes it is obvious but a lot of time a person can’t tell.?
It seems to me that the goal of protecting an injured player is at least as important as the goal of punishing a team for a faked injury. Most people believe, and there is some (mostly) anecdotal evidence to support it, that faked injuries are encouraged if not outright ordered by coaches.
But the NCAA seems to be doing more so far (though IMHO not enough) to punish the team than to protect the players, though it remains to be seen just how quick that ‘medical approval to return to play’ occurs during games this season. There’s some evidence (anecdotally, at least) that in-game concussion protocol clearances have gotten stricter over the last few seasons, which is good news.
I agree with everything you say. I just can’t get it through my noodle that on the field how the determination is made if a player is really injured or not. They don’t have time to give the player a thorough examination by a qualified Physician on the field to see if it is a fake or not. I want to see faked injuries dealt with but I don’t want to see a player that is actually injured to be penalized because it is thought to be a fake injury. Many times it is isn’t discernible either way until the player is examined, and even then it may be difficult.?
If the player is REALLY injured, then an adequate medical examination should be given. I have my doubts that it can be given on the bench or in the portable tent that nearly everybody uses now. I also have my doubts that the people conducting that exam in the tent are not being influenced by coaches and staff.
My recommendation is that players who come out of the game with an injury time out should have to be escorted off the field for a medical evaluation. That’ll usually take several plays.
If the player is faking it (on orders or not), then the team SHOULD be penalized for that by having that player absent for those plays.
One counter-argument is that if there are multi-play absences for injured players, more players may elect to play through certain injuries. That’s when the officiating crew should get involved, in escorting injured players off the field. Start by requiring a doctor in the replay booth in FBS level games, empowered to stop play. (I think the NFL already has this, not sure about college.)
