I don't have the NCAA manual with me, but until our rule gurus chip in,
I'll offer...
 
There isn't one day for everyone.  There is an NCAA first game date and
first practice date, but other rules come to bear.  For example, the
Division I/II first practice date last year was September 7th, but I
don't know that anyone started until weeks later.  Time off from
competion and practice enter into the picture as does the number of
weeks until the NCAA Championship.  Anyone care to summarize this year's
rules wrt practice and playing season?
