Couch: NCAA tone-deaf in eliminating two-a-days from college football practice

Graham Couch / Lansing State Journal

CHICAGO – The NCAA has put its foot down for the sake of player safety, eliminating two-a-day contact practices from college football August training camps, while mandating that players get Sundays off.

Quickly, think of a problem you don’t have. Then eliminate that problem and, in the process, find a way to make your life worse.

That’s how the NCAA tackled this issue. They meant well. And if Bear Bryant was still coaching the Junction Boys or if this were even 2007 instead of 2017, they might be doing some good.
