Update from Doug Gillin

App Family,

It has been three months since the college athletics world came to a pause in March. While it has been a very challenging season for many of us, we have spent considerable time and effort developing our plans for the safe return of student-athletes, coaches and staff to our campus.

Working with university leadership, campus and public health officials, and with guidance from the NCAA and Sun Belt Conference, we are beginning the process of welcoming student-athletes back to campus in phases. The health and safety of our student-athletes remains our top priority.

Following the NCAA's decision to allow voluntary workouts beginning June 1, we instituted phase one with the reintroduction of members of the football and athletic training staff on June 2.
