This past weekend, the sports world breathed a collective sigh of relief. The NCAA announced on Wednesday that conferences could decide if student-athletes could return to campus in June.
On Friday, the SEC was among the first conferences to approve a voluntary return of football players on June 8th. The announcement sent a wave of relief and excitement across social media platforms and it didn’t take long for schools to hype up the players’ long-awaited return.
It’s not guaranteed that football will take place this fall or that it will even resemble a regular season, but it’s an assurance that we are moving forward and normalcy will return.
