We may see some significant changes to the way college football teams prepare for the season this fall. According to a report from CBS Sports, new recommendations have been submitted to the NCAA’s Football Oversight Committee on Thursday that could result in new rules.

These recommendations include:

  • Reducing the amount of full-padded practices from 21 to eight
  • Limiting each team to two full scrimmages
  • Banning collision drills like the ‘Oklahoma Drill’

The rule changes were suggested due to new data that has come from a five-year study that has found that most injuries and brain trauma in football happen outside of live games.
