re: Why can't Fall practice start earlier?

I applaud the efforts of these guys you see going out and practicing on their own...like Fournette. And you see guys like Quinn going to training facilities, and guys like Harris go out West to learn from a QB guru.
I just wondered why there is a limit on these things. I would think it would be helpful for guys who want to learn the playbook, to maybe have a class or light practice preseason before Fall....or at least be around our coaches learning techniques that the LSU staff wants them to learn. Practice can be a range of things...it doesn't necessarily have to be pad-on-pad slugfest.

The NCAA did just amend the rules to allow mandatory summer workouts:
ETA: oh and they're supposed to be student-athletes not full time professional football players. At least in the NCAA's eyes. They almost practice as much as NFL players do now.

Major college football coaches can now require their players to participate in up to eight hours per week of summer activities. The NCAA amended its bylaws in late December to allow such mandatory activity, which can include conditioning, weight training and up to two hours of film study per week. In the past, any organized team workouts in the summer were supposed to be entirely voluntary.
