Practice time is crucial, and you have to be extremely efficient to utilize it effectively. The NCAA allows 20 "countable" hours over a week. A game counts for 3 - 5 practices count for 2 - 10 All meetings and film 5/1 - 5 Weight room 2/1 - 2 It may seem sufficient, but there is so much ground to cover, that you're constantly pushing to get everything in and taught correctly. To say 15 extra practices doesn't or may not provide a benefit is laughable. You play for an extra month, learning in that time period. Your layoff prior to Spring ball is a month shorter. The players are around it that much more. Are we really debating the difference between a bowl-less 3-W season and a 6-W season with a bowl? I'm not even saying I agree with 6 W teams getting a bowl, which btw I don't, but to say it doesn't benefit the team is ludicrous. [/QUOTE]
