No matter how you feel about the NCAA, their objective is supposed to be the protection of student athletes. Their latest rule proposal should do just that.
According to USA Today’s Dan Wolken, the NCAA’s Legislative Division I Council is likely to propose a new rule that will give every football team two bye weeks.
D-1 council is recommending a mandatory 14-week football season. In other words, everyone will get two bye weeks.

While the change hasn’t officially been proposed yet, Wolken tweeted that it sounds like it will be a priority.
