What I’m Hearing: NCAA share great news for Spring athletes USA TODAY
NCAA President Mark Emmert said Friday that the breadth of college sports programs across the country makes it “almost inevitable” athletes will get sick from COVID-19 and that large-scale testing and tracing not yet available are critical to the resumption of on-campus athletics activities.
In an interview with CNN, Emmert said college sports officials have conveyed the need for such testing to "everyone from President Trump on down" and Emmert added he is "very hopeful" it will happen. Some schools have been eying June 1 as a date to begin allowing athletes to return to campus for team activities.
