Would it be better if they were wrestling? Racing bicycles, etc? Are they supposed to go from football practice to weight room to class and then hibernate in their apartment?

I had an ROTC scholarship in college. Was I supposed to not do anything stupid-fun (definition is something that is really stupid/dangerous, but fun) because I had an obligation to the DOD? I don't recall the Army putting many prohibitions on us, just no drugs or man on man behavior, if you know what I mean. Btw, we occasionally played with guns and explosives in ROTC and sometimes people got maimed (I saw multiple people get sent home early from Ft. Bragg from training mishaps).

I'm not saying the coaches should allow it, but as an outsider, I don't have a problem with it. Maybe I'm abnormal nowadays, but I think it's fine for men to do manly things, even if it hurts. I'm almost 50 and I still do stupid-fun things on occasion even if there is pain involved. Life is short and you can die doing very mundane things.
