FAYETTEVILLE -- Late last week, University of Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman was hoping to receive word that his coaching staff would be able to start having online video conferences with his football players.
On Friday, the SEC delivered the go-ahead.
Starting Monday, the 14 SEC schools will be allowed to conduct virtual film reviews and instruction through online applications such as Zoom or FaceTime. The SEC sent updated guidelines regarding team and group meetings to its member schools on Friday, 247Sports first reported.
The purpose of the new guideline, which updated rules put in place on March 13 that prohibited them, will be to allow schools to have instruction that resembles spring practice meetings.
