MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A unconventional preseason training camp will open on Monday for the WVU football team. In the ultimate team sport, the Mountaineers will be divided into two completely separate units to minimize contact. They will appropriately be named the ‘Gold Group’ and the ‘Blue Group’.
The players will not be broken up according to a preseason depth chart, but rather which players are roommates and spend the most time together off the field.
“Everything is spread out,” second-year head coach Neal Brown said. “The first group will basically come in and get taped, get treatment and eat breakfast.
