THIS JUST IN................... NCAA wont let Oregon practice as much as Ohio State The NCAA has way too many rules for its own good, and with an excess of rules comes some unforeseen problems. Thats what has happened in preparation for this years national championship game, as Ohio State will get a big advantage over Oregon this week, according to ESPNs Brett McMurphy: Because Ohio States spring semester doesnt start until Monday, the Buckeyes are not required to adhere to the NCAAs 20-hour rule, limiting countable athletic activities to four hours a day and 20 hours a week. Oregons academic term began this week, so the Ducks cannot exceed 20 hours, according to NCAA rules. That means Oregon can only do 20 hours worth of meeting, practicing, lifting, etc. this week, since the university is in session. Ohio State is not currently in session, so the Buckeyes can do whatever they want. Thats usually not an issue for bowl games, since most take place during winter break, but since the championship game is so late, it could become a problem in the future. WHAT REALLY SURPRISED ME ABOUT THIS ARTICLE IS THAT THE NCAA REALLY BELIEVES THAT THE PLAYERS AT OHIO STATE GO TO CLASS IN THE FIRST PLACE...............
