Today, the NCAA’s football oversight committee is expected to approve a plan that would extend the normal fall preseason practice period by two weeks, allowing teams to conduct up to 12 walk-through practices during those additional 14 days. Once the plan has been finalized, it will be forwarded to the Division I Council for approval on Wednesday, June 17.
But uncertainty remains as to when student-athletes will be able to return to campus for summer workouts, and every school seems to be marching to their own beat. The NCAA voted to allow football and men’s and women’s basketball teams to return to campuses starting on June 1, but some schools will have to wait until restrictions in their state have been lifted.
