Multiple Oregon Ducks football players hospitalized after grueling workouts | OregonLive.com
University level players. The fellows were huge. six foot plus and 200 to 300lbs. Lots of pushups and up-downs. One hour duration. Apparently they were coming back after winter break and starting early conditioning. The NCAA recommends starting slowly on conditioning after a break.
On the other hand, one of the players who was not hospitalized is quoted in the article as saying the workout has been hyped by the media.
Seems to have happened before in a few colleges and HSs over the years.
