In football, one of the keys to having a strong output is to having a team that’s entirely on the same page. Many coaches take their team bowling or to watch a movie to help foster a sense of brother hood. And then there’s Division II Texas A&M-Commerce, which encouraged its players for stealing all of the campus newspapers. That’ll work too.

A college football coach in Texas is backing players accused of removing every copy of a student newspaper from racks around campus because of a front-page article about teammates being arrested on drug charges, according to a police report.

The incident happened at Division II Texas A&M-Commerce. The coach is Guy Morriss, who also coached at Kentucky and Baylor and played 15 seasons in the NFL with the Patriots and Eagles.

“I’m proud of my players for doing that,” Morriss said, according to an incident report. “This was the best team building exercise we have ever done.”
