BBall games before practice??
NCAA regulates practice start date. It became earlier starting in 2013. Teams may start practice 42 days (6 weeks) prior to first official game (no sooner than 2nd Friday in November). Therefore practice may not start prior to late September.

My question: What NCAA loophole allows exhibition games in August? i.e. UofM vs Canadian Univ's and UofK vs Bahama's teams etc


P.S. UK fans hate being called UofK as much as Ole Miss/Miss State fans hate being called Ole Mississippi State

You can only play the summer exhibition games out of the country once every 4 years. We last went to the Bahamas.

So, are they not allowed to practice for the game, as that would violate the practice rule?

I'm pretty sure the teams are allowed additional practices in anticipation of the trip.

I think they get 10 practices before the trip, then it's the normal schedule before the regular season.

You get 10 extra practices during the summer which is the biggest advantage.

Do these out of country exhibitions count against red shirt eligibility.
