Not sure this a great idea. Part of hitting in practice is to learn how to hit and take hits properly.
Don't think this is true.Report from the Associated Press this morning. My apologies if this has been posted before. I’m not sure how to link the article. Maybe someone can provide this.
Just the start of contact football being completely eliminated in a few years IMO.
it was in the Bristol Herald Courier paper this morning. IDK, was I being trolled?Don't think this is true.
Here's the AP's web page for sports news: Sports
There's not a single article on that page about college football and contact limitations. In fact, there's not even an article on that page about the NCAA in any way.
You may have been trolled, Abingdon.

Paper was from this morning. The source stated is the Associated Press. The point is the options being considered , not how old the reported information is or which reputable news source is reporting it.Probably.
Or perhaps you didn't notice that it was a three-week-old paper you were reading.

I read this the other day too....IIRC also in there was a cut in scrimmages allowed.Paper was from this morning. The source stated is the Associated Press. The point is the options being considered , not how old the reported information is or which reputable news source is reporting it.
Some Highlights:
NCAA Oversight Comittee recommended changes.
1-Fewer padded practices
2-Elimination of Old School collision drills.
3-At least 9 of 25 preseason practices with helmets but no pads.
4-Todd Lyons WVU athletic Director is head of the committee. Final recommendation should be presented at May 19th Division 1 council meeting. If passed the model would go into effect this year.
5-A 5 year study found 48.5 % of all reported concussions occurred during August preseason.
All of this is stupid but especially the bolded. The way you learn how to take a hit is to get hit. There's no other way. At game speed, they're asking for MORE injuries.Paper was from this morning.
