The front page story in the Free Press today (we get it for the coupons) details players accusations of persistent violations of NCAA rules regarding practice time during both the season and off-season.
Rich Rodriguez says "We follow the rules".
For example, players say the were working out from noon till 10 pm on Sundays during the season, in dramatic excess of the 4 hrs per day allowed.
The pressure on the head coach, especially after a bad season, is obviously tremendous, and I am certain many schools have minor violations from time to time, but to have the violations be so great and so consistent that multiple players would take it to the news, risking NCAA penalties has to say something.
Hope the maize and blue didn't want all those scholarships.
On a side note, former Spartans stated that they followed all the rules.

Here's the link. No doubt many schools abuse those rules, but it's going to be bad if UM is caught.
