Earlier this year, Urban Meyer and the Jacksonville Jaguars were fined by the NFL for violating the rules that govern organized team activities. The way Meyer explained it, the league cited eight plays during an offseason practice that went beyond the boundaries of allowable contact during those sessions.
It might not have been some egregious violation, but it was black and white in the rules negotiated between the league and the NFL Players’ Association. Meyer was fined $100,000 and the team $200,000 — not an amount that will cause either of them to go broke, but enough to discourage it from happening again.
