INDIANAPOLIS — Division I football teams would be allowed more on-field practices in the offseason, the number of preseason practices would be reduced, and the window for entering the transfer portal would be shortened under proposals introduced this week by two NCAA committees.

Oversight committees for the Bowl Subdivision and Championship Subdivision are scheduled to vote on the proposals in August and, if adopted, they would take effect Jan. 1.

The out-of-season activities model would replace the current spring practice and summer activities legislation and allow FBS and FCS schools to conduct two out-of-season practice periods with a total of 21 on-field practices. The duration of the two practice periods may not exceed a total of seven weeks, and neither period may exceed five weeks.

The FCS proposal would allow teams to hold a joint practice with another four-year institution during the spring academic term.

Teams in both divisions are currently allowed to conduct 15 spring practices over 34 days.

In the summer, FBS and FCS teams currently can require eight weeks of strength and conditioning training and film study with no on-field practice or coaching. Under the proposals, each school would designate a minimum of nine discretionary or voluntary weeks for players when required athletically related activities are not permitted.

The new preseason practice period would allow 21 practices over 27 days in both divisions. The committees noted that additional practice opportunities in the spring and summer would warrant a reduction from 25 practices over 31 days.

The window for entering the transfer portal would go from 15 to 10 days beginning the first business day following Jan. 1.

No ACC game in Brazil

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The N.C. State-Virginia football game being relocated from Brazil back to the United States will remain as a Week Zero contest.

The Atlantic Coast Conference announced that the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight Committee had approved a waiver to keep the game on its originally scheduled Aug. 29 date. That comes roughly three weeks after the league and schools announced the matchup set to take place in Brazil as the first college football game played in South America could not be conducted in Rio de Janeiro.

The game will be played at the Cavaliers’ home field in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The teams had originally agreed to a home-and-home nonconference series that wouldn’t count in the ACC standings since games were added outside the league scheduling model after multiple waves of expansion. N.C. State won last year’s first matchup in Raleigh, but this season’s game is now part of the league slate as the ACC moves to a nine-game schedule.
