New policy could help USF at NCAA Championship

If 18th-ranked South Florida can reach the NCAA Championship, it may enjoy a significant advantage thanks to a new rule that allows only the host school to practice at the NCAA venue during the season.

The policy, which went into effect Aug. 1, prohibits other coaches and players from practicing at the NCAA finals course in advance of the men's and women's championships.

USF men's coach Steve Bradley, whose school is hosting this year’s championship, said Tuesday at NCAA media day that his squad has already made three trips to Concession Golf Club, with two more visits planned in the next few weeks.
