The latest from the Pacific 10 in terms of scandals. Several football players at the University of Michigan have claimed the school is violating NCAA rules by making them spend far more that the mandatory limits on hours for practice and offseason training. And especially during the season they spent more than 20 hours a week on football activities.

One bright side here in terms of future deterrents, unlike some recent scandals where a team benefited hugely from an illegal player or academic practice, Michigan was 3-9 in 2008. Maybe the team would have been better off with more hours partying.
