In addition, recent NCAA restrictions on practice times potentially affect schools that rely on "coaching up" their athletes instead of just pure athleticism. While these regulations may benefit the student, it makes coaching at Stanford more difficult still.

Seems like a fair point. But do our coaches face restrictions so severe that they can't teach our kids fundamentals like proper tackling? 

Maybe we should adopt Chip Kelly's hurry-up offense. Not as a gimmick, but Kelly has mentioned that a big benefit of his scheme is that it provides his players with a lot of reps in practice. I was always impressed, for example, with the downfield blocking of the Oregon receivers and the decision-making ability of their quarterbacks.
