NCAA Division I Council Approves 12 Hours of Weekly Team Activities for Football Teams That Won't Play This Fall

College football teams who aren't playing games this fall will be allowed to hold up to 12 hours per week of team activities.

As part of a practice model approved Wednesday by the NCAA's Division I Council, football teams that don't play this fall and plan to play in the spring will allowed to be conduct up to five hours per week of non-contact on-field drills, while the rest of 12 hours can be used for strength and conditioning workouts, meetings and film review. Athletes will be required to have two days off per week, and no more than four hours of team activities can be held in one day.
