With Organized Team Activities Suspended, Additional Instruction Would Be Beneficial
BOULDER — Colorado Athletic Director Rick George said Wednesday the Pac-12 will ask the NCAA to increase the number of hours a week football coaches can have as "instructional" time with players during a period when the coronavirus pandemic has virtually eliminated face-to-face contact.
The conference earlier this week extended its suspension of organized team activities through May 31, but George noted that the timeline will be re-evaluated and reassessed on May 1.
Meanwhile, George said, the Pac-12 would like the NCAA to adjust its offseason rules for football, which currently allow eight hours per week of activity for players, including two hours of instructional time.
