NCAA Regulations on Spring Practices

Now that MSJ is on spring break I thought I would forward the intention to spring practices. This year the NCAA has restricted Division Three football practices even more than before. As is it wasn't enough, that we are not allowed any contact, and that we aren't allowed to wear shoulder pads. Now, we aren't allowed to wear helmets either. I think the restrictions the NCAA is putting upon us is getting ridiculous. Pretty soon there won't even be a reason to have spring ball. Next, they are going to say we can't even use a football during practice. I mean, I understand not being allowed to wear shoulder pads, and I can level with the idea that we shouldn't be allowed to hit. But, not wearing helmets is taking it to an extreme. I just think it is getting silly, it's like we are playing flag football. Allowing us to wear helmets gives us the opportunity to condition appropriately. It also gives us players the chance to get used to our face-mask before the upcoming season even starts. When will this madness end?
