According to a source that spoke with USA Today Sports who requested anonymity, the NCAA Division I Council on Wednesday voted to allow athletes in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball to resume voluntary on-campus workouts, beginning June 1.
This is HUGE news for sports fans who were hoping to see sports back in action. It’s also a big sigh of relief for college football fans who weren’t sure what the season would hold. Although the NCAA has not yet made an official announcement, this at least provides some hope for sports fans.
The vote to resume on-campus team activities lifts a prohibition that has been in place since March, when the coronavirus began to take the United States by storm resulting in the cancellation of the SEC/NCAA tournaments as well as spring sports and spring semesters.
It’s important to note that regarding on a state’s mandatory rules in place, some Division I teams will be able to get started with team activities while others will not.
This is one reason why some reports have surfaced of the Alabama Crimson Tide being in talks with TCU about playing on September 5th since California’s coronavirus guidelines differ from Alabama.
