Never used them myself, but I've only ever seen players get suspended and coach Rep go down. JMO, biggest punishment is Rep dropping. The question would be how does the D- Rep affect recruiting?
It used to be a strategic element of the game, where you could get away with it. Once some of us figured it out, I got away with it probably 80-90% of the time in the 15 or so times I used the tactic. It started with needing two certain responses in scouting reports, then there was some criteria of what to use, and when.
You could still get caught, so there may have been a random element for that, even if you did everything right. I would have to look for any old notes I have on doing it. Don't think I have tried it since V3 came out.
GD used to have war chests, flipping players, betting WIS dollars on the game lines, booster gifts, round robin conference slates, injuries, and disciplining players. Wouldn't mind some of these being brought back.
