Interesting Article

I'm surpised this article didn't make the board.There was a time when players spent too much time working on football in lieu of school. Now, players aren't spending enough time with football and we are seeing bad football early in the season. Last night, the horrible play on TV from most teams was just bad. The NC State vs. USC game was almost unwatchable. The NCAA needs to rethink some of it's endless rules that require each school to have a freaking lawyer to decipher what the Hell the NCAA is trying to say.

Especially considering many reports indicate that the players are wanting the extra time to work, study films, walk through plays, etc.I know tons of players that have coaches copy game tapes so they can study them after school work is done and before they go to bed. I liked the "These work outs aren't mandatory, but neither is playing time". If you are good enough to come in and only spend 20 hours a week and start, fine, but don't cry about the fact that you lost your position because someone wanted to work harder than you. (I think that is what happened in Michigan, Rich Rod started playing people who worked harder and put in more time and some of the prima donnas got their feelings hurt).
