I'm hearing there are some big changes coming to limit contact during the week. Something along the lines of 3 live days per week total live segments of 90 minutes. Doubles can only include 1 live practice.

It has been a while since we have had 3 live contact practices in one week. Doubles don't matter because we are already in school like just about everyone else when we start.

It's basically just putting it all down in words....won't have as much impact than you'd think.

I disagree, I hear that "thud" will now be considered live. So basically your indy, group, and team periods can't exceed 90 minutes A WEEK of Thud or live. That's only like 20 minutes per day. Teams better start investing in lots of arm pads and hand shields.

3 live days during the week is probably already done by most schools that play on friday nights. Figure Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are live and Thursday is a walk thru and friday is a game. Nothing major or big changes.

Honestly, they can make all the rules they want, they're doing to have it down on paper so they are covered. That's all this is. Really shouldn't pay any attention to it.

I understand the days. The time is what I'm questioning. That's no time at all.

Wait, wait, wait...90 mins a week?!?!?!?!? Thought it was a day. 90 mins a week, they have to be joking.

Too many women involved in making football decisions I bet.

Hearing this is only the start of it with more to follow in subsequent years. Hoping my source has the time incorrect.
