Next year, teams can play two other four-year colleges in preseason exhibitions without requiring a waiver that any proceeds be donated to charity. The games also do not have to be played in private with no official score keeping. So no more secret scrimmages. YAY! I take it the first part of that, requiring the waiver, is for exhibitions that are televised, like Arkansas Kansas and Memphis vs. N. Carolina and South Carolina earlier this year. Otherwise, there would be no proceeds because the games are supposed to be played in private.
