UNDER THE DOME Notre Dame's four quarterback candidates can walk into the Guglielmino Athletics Complex and converse with Kelly or offensive coordinator Chuck Martin or anyone else on the staff about the game tape he is watching. "If they want to voluntarily watch tape on their own, they can go into the meeting rooms and pull up whatever • Players can do as much film review as they want — but not with any countable coaches. For example, none of they want to look at," summarized Notre Dame football media relations director Brian Hardin. "But they can't go up to Chuck's office or have Chuck down there with them and go through plays together. That type of interaction is not allowed." A few years ago, Michigan got into some NCAA hot water under former head coach Rich Rodriguez for 1) exceeding the permitted hours allowed and 2) Wolverine players told the Detroit Free Press that the football staff often watched offseason scrimmages that are supposed to be voluntary. Later, the school released details of an internal audit that discovered Rodriguez's team failed to file forms tracking how much time players spent on football, both during the season and offseason. According to Hardin, coaches aren't even allowed to "accidentally" view any such summer workouts. If a head coach has windows in his office that look into an indoor practice facility, he would have to have his blinds drawn.
