I wonder how many teams violate the practice rule? 20 hours per week really isnt much since weight training and watching game tapes is a part of practice.
I know players workout on there own time can’t R Rod do the same without bringing on the heat. Yea other schools do this and get away with it because of the manner in which they do it legally. Whats wrong with Rod? Is the pressure that bad or lack of expertise which I believe the latter. Rod is not gonna make it and just as well for Mich because they deserve better. The football program is in shambles the worst ever in Michigan’s strong history. Time for the Alumni to hold back money and get a worthwhile coach that can put Michigan Football back in the top 10.
