SEC changes ruling on virtual instruction

As the world continues to adapt to unprecedented times the SEC will follow suit. The league office will allow football coaches to meet with, instruct and hold meetings virtually with their players, according to reports from Brandon Marcello and Bud Elliott.

The league office sent a memo to the athletic departments outlining the new guidelines on how they can now meet with their players. Previously the league prohibited football-related interaction between coaches and players. With many of the SEC schools gearing up for spring football just before the spread of COVID-19 and cancellation of the spring seasons, coaches wanted a way to stay active with their team and prepare for the season and install the playbook.
