Iowa to hire Player Chaperon

Iowa City-University of Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz has announced that "player chaperons" will be hired for the Summer for all University of Iowa football players. According to Ferentz, the chaperons will be with the players at all times after 5 pm, to assure no future incident occur on the team.
"We are already very short on players," said the head coach, "we just can't afford to lose anymore to petty violations."
In addition, Ferentz announced new policies for the football team. The entire team will be required to stay in Iowa City all summer. And the new announcements include:
Monday night will be favorite board game night
Tuesday night share your favorite story night
Wednesday night's will feature an old fashion marshmellow roast.
And other activities will include checkers, roller skating and bowling.
