OU football will reopen its facilities on July 1 for voluntary workouts, the athletic department announced Tuesday, even though the NCAA Division I Council voted to allow such activities starting June 1 and a variety of conferences and schools will reopen before July.
“As we have planned for the reopening of our facilities, the health of our student-athletes and staff has been our top priority," OU athletic director Joe Castiglione said in a news release. “It is the principal that has guided every step of our meticulous process.”
The Southeastern Conference voted to allow athletes to begin voluntary workouts on June 8.
