So how does one actually prove that a player is faking an injury?

Shoot him in the leg and see if he notices

Such as cases where a winded defensive lineman falls down, leaves the field with the trainer and miraculously returns after missing only 1 play.
Bigger result of this rule will be the high volume of plays submitted for review/challenge by coaches after the game is over.

Doesn't matter, it's a big nothing-burger
They will inform the conference they think it was a faked injury after the fact, then let the conference decide if there should be some undefined disciplinary action. There will never be.

But he was grabbing electrified metal objects. We'll have to take players at their word, I guess.

The faking injury rule should simply be: if the clock needs to be stopped
for an injured player, then the player is out for the rest of the series; OR the injured player's team can use a timeout to re-enter him. Then you don't have to question if he's faking it or not. It should just be automatic.

Very rarely have I seen examples where a player maliciously acted in a targeting situation. In those cases, let the committee review and potentially punish that player the next week. Again, it should be rare. And if it is terribly blatantly awful, the official can eject a player in game the same way as if they throw a punch or something.

98% of "targeters" don't deserve the walk of shame. Most of them are just playing football. The head is 6 inches from the body part used in perfect form tackling (shoulder) and with the speed of the game its going to make contact. One other problem i have, ia when the whistle blows AFTER a player stays down. If said player had popped up and went straight to huddle it would be a play on.

difference. If NCAA overrules that the player penalized for targeting shouldn't have been ejected from the game, then why did the replay official rule the player was guilty of targeting in the first place. If the NCAA really wants to fix the targeting rule, then there are better ways to achieve that goal.
