Let's face it, football as it is may be an endangered sport. I have my 2nd grader playing flag football currently, he may be ahead of the curve if that's what college football is in 11 years when he's a freshman.

BDK, maybe your thug team could actually benefit from this, with all the cheap-shotting they do. :lol:

As someone on AGS mentioned, most teams don't do many full-contact drills during the season anyway. This doesn't apply to preseason camps.

Noncontact practices won't really effect their records,as long as they stick to IL and PL games.

ESPECIALLY late in the season. Most guys are banged up, trying to heal up during the week.
