Definitely hope and pray that all of the players in involved are recovering quickly and fully.

Stating first that I do not know anymore than what the story shares and having to trust it's accuracy for conversation purposes:

Does make you wonder how much of this was the result of being too tough or was it just that much more intense than what was being run under Helfrich? With their results on the field this past season one has to wonder if the Ducks were just a little too soft in all facets (including strength and conditioning)? I would guess that this regiment mirrors what was being used at South Florida and Western Kentucky while Taggart was at each program.

Really hope no proof of impropriety comes from this. Winning and success is great, but not at the expense of health and safety.

Don't know the whole story, but this strikes me as pretty stupid coaching behavior. Putting three young and capable athletes in the hospital is quite an undertaking. You have to be pretty dense to keep pushing well beyond the breaking point. It seems many are too quick to label strength and conditioning coaches as medical experts.

I completely agree with you Robert.......Don't ruin someone's career, or possible take their life due to a power trip. Know when to say when....

I don't claim to know all the rules, but I know that this time of year there is normally winter conditioning, which would be let by the conditioning staff. For Ohio that would be Dak Notestine.

Looks like Oregon moved pretty swiftly on saying that is not acceptable:

http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/18498773/...

Found this part interesting and wonder how it works elsewhere:

"In addition to Oderinde's suspension, Oregon changed its system of reporting, with the strength and conditioning coach now answering to the Ducks' director of performance and sports science, Andrew Murray, instead of to new head coach Willie Taggart."

But a far worse situation on the Upper Peninsula:

Have to wait and see on the NMU case, very well could be a genetic condition, but very sad none the less.
