Carter: July 1 is an “important date” regarding return of student-athletes

There is still plenty of uncertainty regarding when public schools and universities may open their doors again due to COVID-19, but Ole Miss athletics director Keith Carter has a date in mind for when that could happen for student-athletes.

During an introductory press conference via Zoom for new Rebels softball coach Jamie Trachsel on Tuesday, Carter took questions about when he thinks athletes, especially those who play fall sports, could potentially return to campus.

The Southeastern Conference has not made any firm plans toward essentially reopening their conference, while states begin their own reopening process after the entire country has been quarantined for the past two months.
