Overall opinion

My thoughts on the subject of football programs going over the limits for practice time are that they are absolutely absurd. I don’t understand how teams are supposed to get better if they have limits on how much they can practice. This is especially the case for one of the toughest sports to prepare for in football. I understand that education and being a student-athlete is important in college, but I believe that coaches understand this and are aware that the players need time for themselves and to do school work. Also, I believe that the extra time thats has been discussed in cases such as the Michigan case are voluntary. I have learned through my experience that coaches often want players to put in extra time for lifting and working out to make that player better, however I have never had a coach who has forced me to do those things. These are just a few basic thoughts on these types of situations that have occurred with programs such as Michigan.
