The Associated Press reports that the NCAA’s football oversight committee will finalize a plan today that will allow college football teams to hold 12 unpadded walkthrough practices in a 14-day period before the normal 29-day preseason practice begins in August. Coaches say the additional time will be valuable for teaching schemes, not necessarily player development.

The NCAA will allow college baseball programs to carry an unlimited number of players next year, lifting the current 35-member maximum. Coaches can also offer less than 25-percent of a scholarship to accommodate the larger numbers, but schools still have only 11.7 athletic scholarships to give. LSU Coach Paul Mainieri was hoping for relief on the 11.7 as well.

LSU’s outfielder Daniel Cabrera and pitcher Cole Henry were not selected in last night’s first round of the Major League Baseball draft.
