Massive spring practice changes could be coming to college football

Some more changes are coming to college football. Spring games could be out and OTAs could be in.

Spring practice across the sport could be changing very soon.

A new spring practice proposal was shared with coaches at the ACC spring meetings, Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger reported. It would include adding six contactless OTA-style practices. The proposal of a single transfer portal window continues to be discussed for either January, March, or April. Four months ago, coaches announced that they wanted to eliminate the spring transfer portal window and have a single 10-day window for free agency in January during the AFCA convention in Charlotte.

How teams use these practices would be up to each individual program. Programs could use the OTAs (organized team activities) all in the traditional spring construct or save some for May and June in the summer after spring semesters end across the country. There will likely be multiple defined windows — one in the spring during school and one during summer break — when teams could get on the field and practice.

There are unintended consequences with every move but it seems that the coaches are really pushing for this extra practice time along with a single 10-day portal window. Some big changes are on the way as soon as the settlement is passed.

Of course they want both. More time with the players assured.

Coaches need more time with players now that everyone is a 1 year free agent. The previous rules were based on the previous situation.

They deserve more time with th eplayers given that the players are getting paid now and I would add that everyone on the team should get a minimum wage to make that happen, say $25k?

I like this proposal to give coaches more time to work with the players.

Since players are now paid employees of the school ( despite what some say) shouldn't every school be allowed to set there own work rules. Why not allow for " mini camps " like the pros during the off season. The idea of student athletes or more practice time affecting players " academics is patently absurd in today's enviornment
