Colorado and Syracuse have filed paperwork with the NCAA requesting the ability to hold spring practices and a spring game on April, Orange coach Fran Brown said. NCAA bylaws prevent teams from holding intercollegiate practices and exhibition games against each other in the spring.

The NCAA continues to be out of step with the new dance moves of college sports. Via Griffin McVeigh of On3.com, the collegiate athletics governing body has declined a request from Colorado and Syracuse to have joint practices followed by a scrimmage.
