This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

NCAA should allow teams to do “spring practice” in May-June. by 1NDGal

Or June-July. The players are on campus almost all summer anyway for classes and “voluntary” workouts.

I don’t know what to do about teams like Clemson who had 5+ practices in before the shutdown. Impossible to make a perfectly level playing field.

I think the players really look forward to the Spring Game. It’s goofy, it’s loose, they get to run out of the tunnel, minimal tackling. And I’m sure that, after months of zero sports anywhere, fans will come to watch. Delightful South Bend mid-summer weather notwithstanding.

Recruiting visits can happen during that time as well.

Skipping the spring cycle altogether would be such a huge loss for teams’ and players’ development.
