First Day of Practice

It takes an advanced degree in mathematics to calculate
.but here is what I know based on NCAA 17.25.2 Preaseason Practice and 17.02.11 which also factors in the calculation.
You get 29 units - which are practices. There is no practice on Sundays.
The day classes start can factor into your calculation. As does the first date of competition, which is Friday, Aug 26 this year. Classes start Aug 29th. So the first day of classes does not affect Daytons calculation this year.
The first day of competition does. The 6 days prior to that date you can only have 1 practice a day. You dont count Sundays. So one unit on Aug 19-20-22-23-24-25.
You can count 2 units on non-Sundays prior to that. So 2 units on 18-17-16-15-13-12-11-10-9-8-6.
That totals 28 units. So I think you get one more unit and therefore can start on Friday August 5th as long as you have a one-unit day somewhere between the 5th and 18th. But Im not clear on that last unit. And Im not clear on
reporting day. Not sure if its a required day if that counts as a unit. There will be a meeting. They have to hand out gear and shoes, etc. I think the players move into their permanent living quarters but I also dont know how Dayton handles athletes on campus when school is not in session. So move in day could be as early as the 3rd or 4th.
Conclusion practice starts around August 5th give or take a day.
The KY Exhibition is at 4 pm on the 20th at Frericks and that counts as the one-unit on that day.
