How ready are you for spring football practice?

The team at SEC Football Online think a lot of things have changed over the years that make Spring practice a necessity. With the maturation of today's athletes, and everyone looking for an edge, if you aren't practicing and getting better, you won't play.
Nowadays folks aren't just "practicing" to play a game, but they are practicing to get better in hopes of auditioning for an NFL spot. Of course, only a small number of athletes will ever see an NFL field, but we think in their minds the competition is so fierce (especially in the SEC) that Spring practice is almost needed to prepare athletes for what is to come. Especially with so many freshman getting the chance to play in today's game. Can you imagine a RB hitting the field as a freshman having never received a hit from an SEC linebacker? Wow(Ouch). Then again, maybe the NCAA should ban spring contact practices and let them condition, and learn plays and skills. Then let them come in a week earlier in the fall. This would help in academics also, these guys need the chance to be just a student. So...What do you think?
