“It’s so easy to fix this”: Veteran NASCAR spotter proposes radical solutions including $100,000 fine to college football

Veteran NASCAR spotter Brett Griffin shared an "easy" solution for the fake injuries often noticed in football games that gives teams an unprecedented advantage. He mentioned match bans and fines as fixes.

In an NCAA-sanctioned college football game between Illinois and South Carolina, one of the players was spotted likely faking an injury before he went down on the touchline. There was much debate on social media regarding this as users felt it was important to find a solution.

Griffin, who has worked with drivers like Jeff Burton and Clint Bowyer, suggested a solution for the same. He stated that the players should be suspended for one game and should be fined along with the head coach.

"It’s so easy to fix this. If caught in game player suspended one game and fined $25,000 and head coach fined $50,000. If caught after the game head coach suspended one game and fined $100,000. @NCAAFootball has more to clean up this off season than any other sport," Griffin wrote on X.

Illinois ended up winning the game 21 - 17 against South Carolina. It was part of the Cheez-it Citrus Bowl.

Brett Griffin's take on NASCAR's multi-million dollar deal for the drivers in the 2025 Cup Series

NASCAR recently announced the implementation of a driver-centric marketing scheme in 2025 which is expected to give the new and upcoming drivers more popularity and money. Along with the $7.7 billion media rights deal, the sanctioning body is set to implement a new marketing strategy.

NASCAR will set a $20 million pool for the drivers. Any driver who would promote the sport in any possible way would be compensated for it.

Griffin feels the same. In a social media post, he mentioned that the sponsors controlled the marketing when the sport was at its peak. However, he feels that the drivers would now get more attention.

"When the sport was at its greatest height hundreds of sponsors were controlling the marketing messages. Those Sprint, UPS, Budweiser, Home Depot campaigns were powerful in the marketplace. It’s good to see a multi-million dollar activation plan to get drivers back in front of fans," Griffin wrote.

Griffin has been around the NASCAR field for a long time having worked with some of the best drivers. He was a part of the Door, Bumper, Clear podcast under the Dirty Mo Media tag but announced his departure last year to focus more on personal ventures.

Considering his dedication towards the sport, he is expected to return on a part-time basis in 2025, but nothing has been officially confirmed.
