In an interesting piece of news, the Ohio State and Michigan State football programs have announced to their recruits that they will never have to practice. This comes on the heels of the allegations at Michigan.

"We don't want to over work these guys," said a member of the Ohio State staff. "Granted, football is important to us, but they need a good life balance. We want our players to win football games, but to also enjoy the college experience."

Michigan State feels the same way.

"Life is about more than football," said a Spartan staffer. "A rare few will make the NFL, so we need to prepare these guys for their careers after college athletics."

Michigan Officials Probing Alleged 3-9 Season

Michigan officials are looking into the alleged 3-9 season that took place last year under new head coach Rich Rodriguez. If it turns out to be true that the team was practicing roughly 846 hours per week as is being reported, a 3-9 season at Michigan seems unfathomable.

"I can't remember ever having a losing season in my lifetime, let alone one this bad," said a university official. "Michigan football didn't go 3-9. There's no way. I don't know who started that rumor. Probably the same people that say Notre Dame and Florida St. aren't national powers anymore. Just ridiculous."

If these allegations of a 3-9 season turn out to be true, the football program faces an uphill battle.

Said a member of the coaching staff, "If we really went 3-9 last year, then we need to get to work. We'll need to practice harder, lift more, and watch more film. Players will be here all day if they have to be."
