[QUOTE="Point-Illinois, post: 1811586, member: 747217"] Yeah, the “players will play injured more often” argument doesn’t make as much sense to me. 1. Like someone else said, players play through manageable injuries all the time. It may not be advisable, but they don’t want to go out or their coaches don’t want them to go out. Either way (good or bad), it happens. 2. We’re not talking about the injuries where a player still CAN play the next snap. The injury type that MSU took advantage of was the one where the player went down and “could not get up under their own power”. Normally this is due to such extreme pain or loss of mobilization that it warrants the training crew to come out to render aid. If an injury is THAT severe, the player should stay out for that series, and if it happens again, the game. A game stoppage injury where a player is down on the ground should be a serious issue, and the same safety precautions to make sure the player doesn’t return to action too soon can help mitigate taking advantage of that “safety-first” intent. The one outlier here that I can think of is cramping. But I think the “hold out for a series” could still work. Just don’t cramp up again. [/QUOTE]
