Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez says he's glad facing the NCAA committee on infractions is over.
Rodriguez made a very brief comment as he walked toward an
escalator Saturday afternoon after a 7 1/2-hour hearing on violations
within the Michigan football program. Rodriguez, school president
Mary Sue Coleman and athletic director David Brandon were among the
Wolverines contingent in Seattle on Saturday.
The NCAA has accused Michigan of five major rules violations
related to practices and workouts. School officials challenge the
allegation that Rodriguez failed to promote an atmosphere of
compliance, but accept responsibility for the other four
allegations.
The allegations involve exceeding limits in practice and
training time.
