SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- In an effort to cut down on concussions, head trauma and other injuries, the Pac-12 Conference is establishing a league-wide policy to limit the amount of contact made during football practices beginning this season.
Commissioner Larry Scott said Monday that the conference will limit hits to numbers ''less than what the NCAA permits,'' while many of the schools already have their own ''self-imposed limits.'' Now, there will be an across-the-board rule in an effort to decrease head trauma and other injuries.
''In our discussions it became clear this is a topic our coaches are focused on,'' Scott said. ''There is a high degree of awareness about it and a deep commitment to it. It was a high priority.''
Details of how the conference will monitor each school's hits and contact are still being worked out. Scott expects everything to be in place by late July.
