Honest question (please don't flame): Why can't Fall football practice start earlier? Why does the NCAA limit it to its current timeframe?

Because you wouldn't want to push them that long. They're already banged up by seasons end so you wouldn't want to add another 3 weeks of camp.


And if you didn't extend camp but only started it sooner you'd end up having diminishing value because you'd stop camp way before the season starts.


Hope this helped.

That's a great question. Why have any practice breaks at all? Go from the bowl game to winter practice into spring practice right into summer practice and then to pre-season practice and into the season. What possible justification can there be for limiting practices?
The NCAA hates LSU.

Cause they are student athletes.

Not pro players

It amazes me that so many don't realize that.

All teams are allowed the same number of practices before the first game. I think it is 29 but I'm sure someone out there has better knowledge of this than me.
