[Husker] Joel Klatt's Chad May moment, live on ESPN(.com) (fwd)

Granted I will have to give you the fake injury  thing. Something I hadn't yet worked out in my system yet. On the  subject of yellow cards, in tonights CU-Clemson game a Clemson player  was flagged for a late hit with 11 seconds left in the game and the ref  pulled a little black book and wrote something down. I have seen this  before but really noticed it with the thread that we are discussing  now. Do they keep track of personal fouls and who committed them during  the game? Can a player be kicked out of a game for too many personal  fouls? If not what was he writting down and why? Any refs on the list  able to answer these questions?

The problem is that there is no way to verify an injury in time to 
permit immediate enforcement.  

So far the best idea is probably still some variant on the yellow 
card system.  

It could even be extended to permit a conference or possibly the NCAA to 
do post-game review of a call to modify the extent of any penalty, though
I'm not sure how well that would work.  

However, soccer's yellow card system has its flaws, too.  There are reports
of international players faking injuries well enough to convince an official
to yellow-card a key player for another team.
