So with the Rich Rod meltdown this morning ...

players to spend whatever time they want practicing, working out, etc. But, the limits are on what you can require.
I guess what I am saying is that it appears that the players just said they spend a lot more time than the NCAA limits. Did they say they were required to do so?
I know it's a fine line - but, I think all programs encourage players to practice, etc. on their own.

someone turned Polk in for practicing too long, but it wasn't a player. I knew that nothing was going to happen because Polk meticulously documents EVERYTHING that happens at practice.
Personally, I think it was an MSU person that wanted Polk gone, and thought that would be the only way to do it. Polk announced his retirement about a week later, and I do think that was a factor.

but the coaches can't require it and they aren't allowed to be present. No one directly reporting to the football coach or part of the game day staff can be there. They usually have a Strength and Conditioning Coach who works directly for the athletic department hang around to keep a eye on things. They also cannot punish people for not coming to be within the rules. According to the article the coaches told players they had to come, were there for the practice, and made it clear they would be punished if they didn't show up. Probably something that happens everywhere but it does seem like this was a bit over the top. 11 hour practices on the weekend are hard to get away with.Porkchop said:
