- More Money
- Can play the young guys early to see who is ready and not
- Force the red shirts before game 1
- Reduce the scholarships to 78
- Reduce the amount of regular season games by 2?

No. However 1 closed scrimmage/exhibition game without tv or fans would be suffice

No but not against the joint practice thing suggested during the OKlahoma game

No, but everybody should get one practice scrimmage against another P5 school that is not on their schedule before the first game. Scrimmages should get both teams ready for full speed games.

Hell no. That's a lot of injuries waiting to happen. Literally no reason it should happen on any level. I've been saying this for years.

How many players get hurt during practice with this.

Because you get to take you RS Freshmen and So along with your incoming class and eval them early for playing time. It increase the quality of the NCAA game too.

No... I don't watch the NFL.... Seriously.
But, I will say it again. Increases the ability to see the younger guys in action and NCAA fans like that. It's a different feel than NFL. No starters allowed maybe
- More money generated.

No. The current schedule is fine. Preseason is stupid. Why the frick would I pay money to see a meaningless exhibition game? What does reducing scholarships do? This is stupid.

I'd rather see more conference games added to each season and maybe some cooperative scrimmages/practices before the season between P5 schools. QBs non-contact for those.
I don't like pre-season games in the sense that it exposes players to unnecessary wear and tear or injury before the season even starts.

Sure. I see nothing that could go wrong with playing "practice games" in July in the south.

No. They are college students.

I would be all for a preseason schedule of two games if it means getting rid of matchups with G5 and FCS schools entirely.

The only problem with that...............it will cost each school, and the local merchants, a lot of money. You need cupcakes so you can develop talent/depth and give some rest to your front line players.
The only thing I would change with the current system is an eight team playoff.

Nope. Why reduce scholarships? If anything increase them.

I think one preseason game two weeks before the regular season starts would be sufficient. Could bill it as preseason Saturday.
If the SEC wanted to do it, they could set it up to where one team plays another that they are not playing that year (I.e. Ole Miss plays Tennessee or Florida etc.)
The teams could have joint practices that Thurs and Friday and then scrimmage on Saturday. This would be manageable as schools for the most part aren’t in session by this point.
