Mandated Injury Reports

[AllInForISU]

All P4 will be doing it starting this year. Which, honestly, all that matters. Doesn’t really matter what the sunbelt does.

It’s mainly the timing of everything. I’m pretty sure the Big 10 does one report on gamedays. Big 12 has theirs 3 days before the game. ACC does 2 days before. I think SEC does 3 days before as well. Big 10 just does game days. And they all only do it for conference games, which also makes no sense really.

I get they all do it, but uniformity would be nice. There’s no reason not to other than being petty and annoying.

This is exactly what’s going to happen.

“Wednesday, we felt like he was in a good place. Attitude was great, work ethic was great, and he was buying into the process. The reality is, though, injuries don’t run on our timeline. They test your resolve, they test your character. He’s battled, but he won’t be out there today”

…is what we’re going to hear a lot of next year.

They only require reports two hours before kickoff (what this accomplishes, I don't understand). Big 12 is doing this 3 days before kickoff. Way different IMO.

Agreed. We basically know 2 hours before (give or take) kickoff without an availability report.

"The entire roster is listed as questionable."

- Matt Campbell, probably

Day to day lol

Big 10 is the only I see that does it that way. Not sure why.

SEC has done and will continue to do it exactly the way the Big 12 is doing.

Entire Iowa State Football Roster Listed as Questionable for Week 0 Game

I guess the whole team is injured?

I mean, we’re all day to day aren’t we?

Valid observation.

Too much money involved to not know who is playing. I like it.

But will you actually know who’s playing? There’s a lot of money riding on a coach’s definition of probable or questionable.

But I still haven’t heard what happens when a player doesn’t show up on the report and doesn’t play because of injury. Or vise versa. Are the punishments going to be suspensions or just strongly worded letters sent from the league office?

Exactly. I’m guessing there will be a lot of “tweaks” during warmups.

This changes absolutely nothing.

These kinds of things are the things that made my high school track coach throw his clipboard on the ground.

Are track coaches intense? I never participated outside of gym class. Football, baseball they were, swimming not so much.

I assume there is some kind of limit on how much can be bet on CFB. Seems like point shaving would out of control otherwise.

We are going to see a lot of "game time decision" by a players name unless he has broken a bone or is recovering from surgery. This is nothing more than to help the betters, nothing wrong with that, but to think it's going to make a difference is crazy.

The 3 day report will be garbage and the 90 minute report will be too late to matter. At that point you see who is warming up in uniform and who is in street clothes.

You say that now. Let’s see what happens the first time a coach is suspended due to gamesmanship on their injury report and see if there’s anything wrong with it.

If coach can't successfully work around this rule, they aren't trying very hard.

I fully expect fake death certificates and funeral notices........

We should be getting an availability report today, right?
