BOULDER — Thanks to some new recommendations from the NCAA concerning concussion prevention, Colorado could open fall camp in July for just the third time in program history.
The NCAA Sports Science Institute recently recommended that college football programs eliminate two-a-day practice sessions, a popular strategy of coaches across America. The recommendations also include reducing contact at all practices and reducing the days featuring full contact in practice to just one day per week during the season.
In order to give programs a chance to make up for the lost practices, the schools will be allowed to start their preseason camps one week earlier.
