NCAA: Less Contact Practices"The NCAA is suggesting that football teams hold no more than two contact practices per week during the season in guidelines that grew out of a safety and concussion summit early this year.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaa-sugge ... ncaaf.html When will I start feeling stimulated??
Re: NCAA: Less Contact PracticesCan they change "no more than two" to "exactly two"?

Hahahhahahahahahhahahaha I knew this was coming
Re: NCAA: Less Contact PracticesDuring the season you only have 3 contact practices a week anyway, under the traditional practice schedule (Sundays Film/Light Work-Out, Mondays Off, Tuesday-Thursday Contact, Friday No Contact, Game Day) and Thursday was always lighter anyway on the contact so...this just seems like posturing by the NCAA.

Re: NCAA: Less Contact PracticesI really question the long-term future of football at the collegiate and high school level. This type of stuff reminds me of when boxing started going from 15 to 12 rounds and requiring more padding in the gloves. . . mere tinkering around the edges of a sport that is fundamentally dangerous to the health of those who participate in it. Like Mark Cuban said, "why risk it." I'm glad SMU is investing in Bball.
Re: NCAA: Less Contact PracticesThe boxing comparison is an interesting one. Society has seen increased acceptance of blood and cuts in exchange for less brain trauma in the form of MMA - smaller thinner gloves are easier on the brain and the variety of attacks gives more options than knockouts.
Comparing to football, will we see smaller softer helmets and pads to slow people down and decrease brain trauma but potentially increase surface injury? Or rules to pen the game and extend play length, thus decreasing specialization and making smaller more rugby like players? Maybe allowing multiple forward passes regardless of line of scrimmage? "I think Couchem is right."

Re: NCAA: Less Contact PracticesI have long advocated if they want to lessen head injuries, go back to the no helmet days. Players will definitely protect their heads if their heads have no protection.
As to the original post of limiting contact to 2 practices, this would be a prime example of less is more. All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand
Re: NCAA: Less Contact PracticesReplace the current helmets with the oversized inflatable blowup variety

Re: NCAA: Less Contact PracticesI dont think this is too much different than most schools already do. Monday is film and conditioning; Tues and Wed full pads; Thurs shells and Friday walkthrough
Re: NCAA: Less Contact PracticesRugby = lots of dislocated shoulders, broken collar bones, noses but far fewer head injuries. Football will eventually evolve Into a kind of hybrid 7 on 7/tackle football.

Re: NCAA: Less Contact PracticesTalked to a good buddy of mine that does speciality consultation with LSU football for medical needs. He has meet with both Saban and Mills and discussed contact. Both are strong proponents of less contact. Two reasons, it doesn't allow the body to heal and concussions. Both do less and les contact in their routines during the season.
After listening to the routines employed today at LSU and Alabama, no doubt we hit far more in my day.
