Rodriguez: “Right now, you’re allowed 56 official visits. We only use 36. So we save the school money. You kind of zero in on the guys you know (will come) by the time the official visits come. Now everybody’s going to use 56, because it's so early in the process. So it’s going to cost schools more money.

“The life of an assistant and the work that they do now is already pretty hectic. Which is OK; they get paid well. But to have official visits in those months is way too much to ask for kids, coaches and schools. I think it’s a bad idea.”

Change: The abolition of two-a-day practices during training camp.

Rodriguez: “Not a big deal. You don’t try grind guys (anymore). The difference nowadays is kids work out all summer. Maybe you could only have a couple (two-a-days). But leave it up to the discretion of the coach.
