Final exams.
The NCAA has to pay lip service to the "student" part of the term "student-athlete."
When I was swimming in college, we always had a 3 week break for finals and the holidays. For our men's swim team, we actually needed the break, because we weren't there on scholarship, and we had to work for our grades unlike football players at top division 1 schools. But, that's how it goes. The NCAA is going to pretend these kids are students, no matter what.
