UI and BSU football teams prepare for season amid pandemic

After a summer of meeting with coaches over Zoom, University of Idaho football players began walk-throughs and team meetings on July 24.

As the 2020 fall season creeps closer, student-athletes may now complete up to 20 hours of training per week, including the activities they had already been participating in this summer.

“We are excited that more official activities will be taking place in the near future,” UI Director of Athletic Communications Joe St. Pierre said.

Boise State University is accomplishing training in a similar manner to UI. BSU Associate Athletic Director Joe Nickell said the university’s football team had been doing voluntary strength training, conditioning, and conducting position meetings during the summer access window.
