Penalties self-imposed by the Michigan football program Tuesday:

* Cut back practice and training time by 130 hours over the next two years, starting this summer.

* Cut number of assistants from five to three and banned them from practices, games or coaching meetings for the rest of 2010.

* Recommendation for two years of probation. The school said it should not be tagged as a repeat offender despite a 2003 scandal in the basketball program.

* Letters of reprimand issued to seven people -- including head coach Rich Rodriguez.

* Acknowledged for first time that staffer Alex Herron was fired after his claim of not being present during some activities was discredited by players.
