To some degree, there is pressure in every college sport to do more in order to keep up with the incredible level of competition. You would expect this with every team that has high aspirations. I think what happened at UofM is that the coaches felt under such great pressure to not repeat last year, they began to press. Inside an insular community like a coaching staff, a mindset quickly infects everybody and becomes self-feeding, making the feeling of necessity greater and greater. Before you know it, you are going to excess. And yes, I think what got them in trouble is the degree of excess, not that they were doing it.

I think its just the other teams B****ing and M***ing that they are getting beat (if they are I don't keep up with college sports)...I don't even see why they would limit how much time the students can spend on a field....If anything it would be the coaches who would want to limit the time due to practice related injuries. I mean if your best qb over extends his arm because he has been throwing to much....well there goes your season.....There is just to much crying here in America where everyone has to have the same as everyone else.....heck its pretty much I want communism traits (as in no one can have better then me) but its ok if I have better then them! (Everyone wants to be the dictator!)

I'm sure a lot of schools bend the rules and the rules are to a degree based upon semantics--what is really "mandatory" and so forth. But the allegations against Michigan blow the rules out of the water--and apparently the compliance office wasn't paying attention. Sounds like a situation ripe for those pesky NCAA words "lack of institutional control." Another point: most kids playing football, even at "big time" schools aren't going to earn a dime playing football, whereas, the schools themselves are making millions off of them. True, they are getting their education paid for, but what good is that if the rules aren't enforced and they don't actually have time to go to class or study?
