Since May  2004 the Cardinals have begun rebuilding their program by instituting a 4-day split weight training and conditioning program adopted by the University of Nebraska Huskers. If not involved in another sport, each prospective football player will have to commit to the after school regimen. Strict accountability will be emphasized. Each player will have to have 80% attendance in the weight room and study hall in order to remain in the program for Spring Football in May 2004'. All athletes below a GPA of 2.0 will have to attend a study hall on. Tues &  Thurs. and lift on Mon and Wed. and Friday. In addition, a 800lb. and 1000lb. club was created as each player is tested in 3 major lifts and 4 run events approximately every 6 weeks.
