Ohio State University starting safety Kurt Coleman thinks Michigan is playing by the rules, and reaffirmed the key point that players must put in the extra hours to be successful.

"I think Michigan is probably abiding by the rules," said Coleman. "But, you know, to be great you have to put in more than 20 hours. That's just the minimum. In any great program, each player is putting in more than what they're required to."

When OSU's biggest media guy,Kirk Herbstreit, and they're team captain, Coleman, come out in support of the chief rival, you know something is wrong with the allegations.

Maybe Coleman should have a friendly chat with a certain starting lineman on his team?
