Possible Syracuse/Colorado Practice

Pretty sure the current rule is exhibition games against other college programs are OK as long as no admission is charged, or admission is charged, and the proceeds go to charity.

I think there are greater restrictions in the spring (i.e., outside of the traditional season).
 
Here is what is allowable for Spring. Anything beyond is a violation.

17.11.7.5 Spring Practice. [FBS/FCS] Fifteen postseason practice sessions [including intrasquad scrimmages and the spring game permitted in Bylaw 17.11.6.2-(a)] are permissible. An institution is not required to count as one of its 15 designated days any day during which countable athletically related activities are limited solely to required conditioning activities, review of game film and/or walk-throughs (see Bylaw 17.02.20). Practice sessions must meet the following conditions: (Revised: 1/10/90, 1/10/91, 1/10/92, 1/11/94, 1/13/98, 6/21/01, 1/9/06 effective 8/1/06, 12/15/06, 4/26/17)

(a) All practice sessions are conducted within a period of 34 consecutive calendar days, omitting vacation and examination days officially announced on the institution's calendar and days during which the institution is closed due to inclement weather.

(b) Any such practice sessions held during vacation days may not be of longer duration than those normally held when academic classes are in session.

(c) Only 12 of the practice sessions may involve contact, and such contact shall not occur prior to the third practice session.

(d) The noncontact practice sessions may involve headgear as the only piece of protective equipment.

(e) Of the 12 permissible contact sessions, eight sessions may involve tackling, and not more than three of the eight tackling sessions may be devoted primarily (greater than 50 percent of practice time) to 11-on-11 scrimmages.

() Tackling shall be prohibited in four of the 12 contact sessions. An institution has the discretion to determine the practice activities (other than tackling) that may occur during the four contact nontackling sessions as well as the protective equipment to be worn by the student-athletes.

(g) If an institution conducts a "spring game" per Bylaw 17.11.6.2-(a), the game shall be counted as one of the three sessions that may be devoted primarily to 11-on-11 scrimmages.

(h) The amount of time that a student-athlete may be involved in such postseason countable athletically related activities shall be limited to a maximum of four hours per day and 20 hours per week.

I found this from 2023. Apparently, Division II schools have been able to scrimmage another school during the spring. what would the justification be to not allow tow Division I schools from practice with each other and scrimmaging each other?

Football changes​

Division II delegates that sponsor football approved a pair of membership-sponsored proposals, both which become effective Aug. 1.

One proposal, which passed with overwhelming support, permits football players in their initial year of college enrollment at a Division II school to participate in up to three contests without using a season of competition.

"Permitting Division II freshman football players to compete in a limited number of games without using a season of competition and still having four years of competition remaining should help keep football student-athletes engaged, enrolled and improve their chances for academic success," Mike Racy, commissioner of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, said in the business session. "This proposal enhances the student-athlete experience for football players and hopefully will help with student retention."

The other football proposal permits a football team to scrimmage against a four-year college during its spring practice period as one of its three permissible 11-on-11 scrimmages outside the playing season. The scrimmage has to occur on or after the 10th day of the spring practice period, allowing time for student-athletes to become acclimated to full contact. Additionally, the legislation specifies that a student-athlete's participation in such a scrimmage does not trigger use of a season of competition if the student-athlete was academically eligible during the fall term.

"This proposal provides opportunities for an enhanced collegiate experience in Division II football, where student-athletes can now participate against another team in the spring that they normally wouldn't get to," Andy Peterson, director of athletics at Northwest Missouri State, said in support of the proposal. "This proposal can also impact, possibly, retention at institutions supporting football (by improving) student-athlete engagement."

Another good article on the subject. The information regarding tampering towards the end of the article is interesting.

Deion Sanders pushing college football games during spring practice makes too much sense

Having practice games between college football programs during spring practice is financially practical. So of course the NCAA doesn't want it.

The following quote is from Coach Rodirguez at West Virginia. I thought this was interesting cause Syracuse may need to cut or push approximately 20 players to the portal in order to make room for all of the players who have been offered scholarships and are scheduled to enroll over the summer (as many as 23, I think). The coaches already have a good idea who the 1's and 2's will be, but who will be the 3's and 4's? The 3's and 4's will either be guys who coaches believe can develop or possible older walk-ons who can provide valuable depth now. When you're crunching numbers and trying to stay at or under 105 it gets really interesting when you realize we don't have a long snapper on scholarship. How may do you keep? Also, Max Runyon played in 12 games: fullback (29 snaps), TE (1 snap) or special teams (20 plays). Does he make the cut? Josh Kubala (an ROTC or family scholarship) also played in 12 games: 12 snaps at LB and 168 snaps on special teams. Does he make the cut? We had two walk-on QBs last year (Grussar has already been moved to safety). What becomes of them?

“Those other coaches who want to come watch our spring game, they’re going to get a good look at our threes and fours,” West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez told me last week. “We won’t have our best out there. (Coaches are) going to have to go way down the list to find out who these guys are.”


These are interesting times for sure.
