I should have made it bold.
A missed opportunity.

Many (most?) schools have conditioning tests before the year, D1 or not. My D3 baseball program made us run a mile in under 6 minutes, do some sort of sprinting test (cannot remember the details on that) along with having a bench press and dips goal. We had to do all of this in the span of about 2 or 3 hours. You didn't get to practice until you passed.I should have made it bold.

You didn't get to practice until you passed.
I don't know enough about the situation to know whether what went on was abuse or not but in our case it wasn't being used as punishment and it was something that everybody knew ahead of time and trained for.Someone was very concerned about the time they were given to complete each sprint.
Here nor there, did anyone quit?
Were they interviewed by the media?
Did their parents try to get your coach canned over it?

You have to be in good enough shape to be able play your position to the best of your ability from the first pitch to the last..that doesn't necessarily mean you need to be Edwin Moses.In the meat of your season, D1 or not, you really prolly oughta to be in shape, no?
Before you get a uniform on my kid's team you run 16 110 yard sprints, so goal line to back of end zone, you have to run them all in under 18 seconds, you have 30 seconds between sprints to get your **** together.
I think pitchers get 20 seconds instead of 18. I'm not sure why.
Butler was brought in to fix a program that was in the pits. That is what she and her husband do. This type of exodus is normal in such circumstances. I first saw Butler when she was in TB and have known both her and Smith for well over well over a decade. Full disclosure, we were at their wedding. Was not there at Rutgers so I am not privy to details, but will say that if you are a snowflake or entitled brat there is no room for you in their program. They know what it takes to build a winning program and you are either all in or you are out.
and there's punishment because a few extra dollars got spent. Seems like a pretty clear difference.
