“We believe we have found the right balance between helping students participate in sports while also providing them with more down time,” the commissioners of the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, PAC-12 and SEC said in a joint statement. “Different sports have different demands and we think the concepts we’ve agreed to will help tens of thousands of students achieve more balance as they pursue their academic and athletic commitments.”
Other proposed changes include:
• Students would have at least one day a week free from sports, including travel, during the season. Unlike the current rules, a travel day would not count as a day off.
• Students would get an eight-hour block of time free between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. The current rule prohibits athletic activities between midnight and 5 a.m.
