Per Keith Sergeant--No Open Practice for fans/Less Media Access
- Thread starter HeavenUniv.
- Start date
The less our opponents know about the off/def schemes being installed, the better. One advantage we have with a new coaching staff. Smart move. [thumb2]
Love it! At least we have a chance to surprise some schools.
I believe the NFL has league rules that the teams must follow.
In Webster's under the definition of "distractions":
The Star Ledger
And Sergeant is "shocked, shocked" at the development.

This sucks, I have already spent the deposit from Washington, guess I'll just have to make stuff up.
Laugh at how he tries to stretch the meaning of transparency as most of us understand it to encompass a freekin football practice.
Things like this leaves no doubt in my mind why I avoid NJ.com

What about the practice spy drones that Harbaugh will no doubt break ground rules with?
Do you think Coach Ash conferred with Greg Schiano on this issue? Would be interesting to see a survey of programs and whether they do some form of open practices? I'd start with Mike Leach at Washington State, a free-thinker if there is one among college coaches.
Good for Ash - screw them. As one poster said, Duggan used to post too many details about practices. The Star Ledger used to crucify us. Kids don't read newspapers anymore and the news is more timely and accurate from posters on this board. We're in the Big now, so we will have plenty of media coverage. The press needs us more than we need them. Let the press prove their worthiness and earn the right to be knighted, just like the players!

Seeing a practice and, on national signing day, hearing the head coach discuss new recruits were once basic benefits that TD Club members enjoyed.
Perfectly fine with it - there's only so much coach speak and BS you can take anyway - the real interesting stuff happens on the field in the regular season.
Please. We must really think a lot of ourselves to think B1G Coaches need to "spy" on Rutgers practices to get an upper hand. LMAO
They don't have the slightest interest or concern.
Maybe in a few years we will earn that level of respect.
at least one player, Myles Nash, has tweeted "Great Move" in response to this.
If the players and coaches are happy with it, who are we, or the media, to argue it.

Right.. like Bill Belicheck and the Pats did not need to cheat.
New coach, new offense, new defense.. and you don't think opponents would like to know more about what rutgers will bring t the game this season. I am soooo glad you have nothing to do with such decisions.
It's about winning games not giving NJ.com, etc all access. A lot of top programs do this exact thing. If we want to be a top program than we need to start acting like it.
This is from the Bill Parcells school of coaching - circle the wagons - us against the world.
really don't care about fan or media access. If there is something worthwhile to report - the media will have it.

In all honesty I'm torn. I enjoy camp reports but understand with everything that's happened in the past year, the negative slant some news media outlets are always looking for, and all the changes the team is working thru limiting access may be the best thing right now.
This never bothered me, and I could never really understand why it bothers anyone in the first place, to be totally honest.
Same here. Who wants to watch practice anyway? It's like taking a shower with your socks on. And I could care less of media access. Reading about scrimmages is boring. Bring on the OT's!!
Great idea!
It will make players relax and not worry about some idiot fan tweeting because a QB made an incomplete pass, a WR dropped the ball or a player missing a tackle. You get the idea.
Also, it brings bad luck to a team when they open up their practice.

It's very sad how Sargent is whining about this . Deal with it . I am old and read the newspaper , but most people don't .
Media doesn't do ru any favors. Good for ash.
