The NCAA’s football oversight committee expects to finalize a plan tomorrow to allow teams to conduct up to 12 unpadded, slow-speed practices, also known as walk-throughs, during the 14 days before the typical preseason begins in August. Teams will be permitted up to 20 hours per week of what the NCAA calls countable athletically related activities during those extra two weeks, leading into a normal 29-day preseason practice schedule. Schools have started this week bringing their football players back to campus for voluntary workouts – mostly weight training and conditioning – in team facilities.
