Days Off
During the playing season, a coach is required to give student-athletes one day off per week. Outside the playing season, coaches are required to provide two off days per week. There are two exceptions to the day off rule. First, a coach is not required to give a day off during an official University vacation period, provided classes are not in session that week. Second, a coach is not required to give a day off during Big Ten Conference Tournament or NCAA Tournament play.
