As it turns out, there is no such limit restricting bowl teams to how many practices they can hold before a postseason game. Still, it is commonly quoted as fact in news reports from all branches of the media.

A search of the NCAA rule book turns up no mention of a practice limit, and NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn confirmed the absence of a rule.

“I’m not sure where the media has gotten the number 15 either,” she wrote, “because it’s not accurate.”

There is a rule limiting spring practice to 15 dates.
