The NCAA Football Oversight Committee has approved a six-week preseason practice plan on June 11. Student-athletes originally had strength workouts and film study with coaches. That was for eight hours per week. The 20-hour rule is 20-hours per week that coaches can spend with their players. It’s comparable to the NFL’s OTA’s. Eight hours in weight training, 6 hours of walk-throughs and 6 hours of meetings.

The 20-hour rule begins the training camp portion for programs to begin preparing for the season.

The Pac-12 is meeting with presidents and chancellors on Friday to approve a schedule plan after the conference announced that they would move to a conference-only model for fall sports in 2020. In the release, the Pac-12 stated that they would have schedule details released no later than July 31.
