FAYETTEVILLE -- This isn't Bear Bryant's Junction Boys.

And it's not your father's style of two-a-days football training camp.

It's not even last year's modified preseason preparation, when the NCAA limited its member schools to five opportunities for two-a-day practices.

What college football teams across the country are engaged in now is a brand-new model of camp, with the safety of players at the forefront of the structure.

The NCAA has mandated that players receive one full day off per week during camp. Two-a-day practices are "not recommended," but a walk-through without helmets or pads and with no conditioning work can take place on the day of a regular practice.
