2-a-days gone in NFL, still a staple in college

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — The NFL’s new labor agreement does away with the old training camp staple of practicing twice in a single day.

Yet two-a-days are still a part of the college game, to a limited degree. Oklahoma had four two-a-days on their practice schedule this year, and coach Bob Stoops would be fine with getting rid of those if the NCAA allowed teams four more days to practice before the season.

NCAA rules allow teams 29 preseason practices, but the number of days they get to complete those sessions varies by school based on when classes begin and other factors. Since 2003, there has been a rule in place prohibiting schools from having two-a-days on consecutive days.
