Wolverines' Rodriguez says log process has been fixed

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez says the process of filing forms that log hours players devote to football was corrected as soon as he learned it wasn't happening.

Rodriguez declined further comment Wednesday because of an ongoing NCAA investigation.

An internal audit released Monday discovered the football program failed to file the school's forms that track how much players workout and practice as a tool to comply with NCAA rules.

The office of university audits sent Rodriguez a memo on July 24, stating that forms from the 2008 regular season had not been submitted.

The Detroit Free Press, citing anonymous players, reported a month later that Michigan exceeded NCAA limits regarding practices and workouts.

Okay I'm not really a Rich Rod fan. however I have to point out these logs are an internal function at the university to help the compliance officer in their reporting to the NCAA. So it isn't an NCAA violation. so keep your shorts on everyone.

Boy you really cant argue with that one can you? 

Im sure the logging has been fixed.  Heck the players even said they were practicing more than they should.  So if the logs show anything different Rich Rod isnt lying that they were fixed.....to show that nothing was wrong and no rules were being broken.

I love how in the last 10 years soo much dirt has come o

Rich Rod took over a program that had few problems and probably was a pretty clean program.  One would have to think that Lloyd Carr was keeping the logs and then Rich Rod takes over and the logs aren't being kept.  Hmmm.   Then players complain they are breaking the practice time rules.  Hmmm.  Very strange.  Beginning of the year michigan is winning games after ...(more)

Rich Rod was the toast of the town, the home town boy done good, he could do no wrong oh except for one thing. Jump Ship. and that is what he did leaving a huge trail behind him.  It was bad enough leaving, but destroying school documents, refusing to keep to his contract that he signed and pay his buyout. So he goes to Michigan and suddenly anyone able to go to the NFL does, players start ju ...(more)

Well, it is customary for the captain to go down with his ship.

This means, regardless of who is at fault for the logs, etc., Rodriguez as head coach is responsible. This responsibility derives from various origins. First, the NCAA rulebook puts the responsibility squarely on the head coach's shoulders. The head coach is responsible for compliance and to make sure everyone in the progra
