The NCAA Football Rules Committee announced Friday it would propose that a team be charged with a timeout if one of its players falls to the ground on the field because of an apparent injury after the ball is spotted for the next play.

The proposal formalizes the committee’s in-season guidance in October after Oregon coach Dan Lanning acknowledged his team induced an illegal substitution penalty late in the 32-31 regular-season win over Ohio State.
