Rick at Informed Athlete posted:For background info, prior to last year any Fall games or scrimmages that a Division I team played against an outside opponent had to count against the 56-game limit (with an exception for one game against a "foreign opponent" - often the Canadian team mentioned above).
The current rule permits two games in the Fall that don't count against the 56-game Spring limit.
I wondered if there had been a change. In the fall of 2012 my son was freshman at a D2 JuCo. Late in their fall season they had couple of "games" at a D1 university, but officially it was listed as a "12 inning scrimmage". In reality they played two 9 inning games.
