Oregon can't practice as much as OSU for the NC game....

Read that article. They're limited to only 17 hours of practice, film, weights, or anything at all that may be considered "practice." Said that while classes are in session, the rule is that the team can only practice for 20 hours total, and the game counts as 3 of those hours regardless of it's length. OSU classes aren't in session right now, so they are free to watch film, practice and prepare as much as they want. This is definitely something that the NCAA needs to address next year.
Why even abide by that? Who is going to tell on them? I'd rent out a closed facility with zero access by anyone and call it a team dinner and practice instead.
I'd tell the NCAA to gladly piss off if they tried to punish them before even dishing out UNC's punishment. Why anyone should follow any NCAA rules while UNC gets no punishment is beyond me.

This is something that I think just got overlooked. The NC game used to be much sooner than Jan 12th. The NCAA better get on this soon for the coming yrs.
Oregon won't do it but I wish they would throw something out to the press along this line just to call attention to the double standard that most NCAA members have to live with.
They were talking about this yesterday on XM radio. One of the hosts (Nuheisal?) said that he would of just go ahead and practice as much as they want and pay the fine later.
IMO, the title game should have been tonight. Give them a week off, that is all they need. With it being a week and a half later I'd honestly have forgotten all about it if not for ESPN camping out in Dallas all week.
This could give OSU an edge...I don't like that as I am a big Ducks fan for that night. Oregon is fun to watch, and one of the good guys in college football. You can't say that about their opponent, or any of the other three in the playoff. The other three were some variation of the evil empire.

I bet it's a fun time in the Oregon athletic office this week!!!
They will either change the rule or every school in the SEC will be starting classes on January 15 next year.
For one, its Dallas. There are a ton of big places. Heck a YMCA could be there. Just put towels over the windows of the doors like our old basketball practices and it will be fine. I'd have the equipment manager in there well before any of the team arrived with everything just so you can do run/walk throughs without any hits. Hell tell the players to go to a Little League field and have a non coach be given a list to bark out orders so its considered the team just having a get together and no coaches instructing them.
There are ways around everything. During the dark period in high school basketball, we'd still do weights and run games and the loophole is that the coach wasn't actually coaching or there. Its beyond dumb.
