Houston planning to play full 2020 football slate, bring back players June 1

Athletic director Chris Pezman provided a couple of updates on Thursday evening about the target dates and goals to bring student-athletes back on campus as the summer approaches during the third and final meeting of the Coaches Caravan.

UH athletics has been shut down since mid-March as closures due to the coronavirus pandemic forced stay-at-home orders and cancelations of sporting events nationwide, but with Wednesday’s decision by the NCCA Division I Council to allow voluntary workouts to resume on June 1, Houston now has a first-glance look at what is realistic in the near future.

“Summer school starts on June 1,” Pezman said.
