SEC suspends all recruiting through March 30.

NASHVILLE — The Southeastern Conference has suspended all recruiting through March 30 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Going forward with spring football is up to each individual school if they choose to have practices.

Spring football practices kicked off for Tennessee March 10. The Vols completed its second practice during spring football Thursday and made it closed to media.

“We did have conversations about recruiting, as I referenced, and have stopped off-campus and on-campus recruiting for a period of time,” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said Thursday at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.

Sankey said he has “identified the NCAA needs to fully engage on this issue as well.”

“The practice issue may be for them nationally,” Sankey continued. “I think we had some conversations. I don’t know that we came to a destination, so that means it’s still on that list that we’re creating.”
