add on thought: They should make a rule that forces a player to sit out the rest of the half if he's carried off on a stretcher.. I bet those guys don't roll around so much.

I'd go further. If you go off in a cot or stretcher you're out of the match and must spend the night in the hospital for observation. Don't need to take any chances.
To control the diving I would have a panel of diving/acting judges on the sideline. Each time a guy takes a flop the judges score it and if rates above a 5.0 then it's an automatic red card and a free audition on Fox's So You Think You Can Dance.
