The NCAA has established a COVID-19 Playing and Practice Seasons Working Group to address potential challenges that college football and other fall sports could face this year due to the coronavirus outbreak.
According to a statement sent to administrators by the NCAA on Friday, the internal working group will assist the NCAA membership “with evaluating medical, operational and potential rules challenges for upcoming seasons of training and competition.” The working group “will be responsible for identifying, examining and recommending advice, solutions and/or direction to the relevant governance committees to respond to playing and practice issues of a national scope arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
