(AP) — Purdue football coach Joe Tiller has closed practices to the media and public, saying bloggers and other visitors are giving out too much information. “There’s a lot of reasons,” Tiller said Wednesday. “And you better get used to it, because we’re closed the rest of the spring. And we’ll also be closed all fall.” “I’m tired of blogging and guys talking about our practices in postings and all that,” Tiller said. “It’s more problems than it is value.” Purdue spokesman Tom Schott said other football programs have had closed practices for many years. “There really is no need for people to be able to watch entire practices during the spring and training camp,” Schott said.
