SEC forms new medical task force

Sooner or later sports will be back and the Southeastern Conference is doing everything it can now to be ready for the future.

On Thursday the SEC announced a medical task force to guide the league’s preparation in the coming days, weeks and months so that they are ready to bring sports back as quickly and safely as possible.

The task force is comprised of 14 medical professionals, which will guide the league’s decision making related to the return of athletics, including team gatherings, practices, conditioning and competition. The task force has been meeting virtually in April and updates from those meetings are being sent to university presidents, chancellors and athletic directors.
