Related Topics: Southeastern Conference

Traditional football fall camp with unlimited hours of football practice time is no longer permitted this year under the newest SEC guidelines.

The Southeastern Conference approved the guidelines on Tuesday to include adjusted preseason football activities and a newly scheduled practice start date of Aug. 17. Along with the ten day delay, student-athletes will have more off days and fewer practices than the usual NCAA rules allow.

Schools can conduct up to 14 hours per week of strength and conditioning, meetings and walkthroughs from Aug. 7-16.

Included in the plan, teams can only practice 25 times over a 40-day period starting Aug.
