The NCAA has given the green light for Syracuse basketball and other collegiate hoops teams to start summer activities in a month.

Syracuse basketball, the men’s and the women’s groups, may kick off “summer athletics activities” in about one month’s time, according to a plan approved by the NCAA’s Division I Council.

In giving the go-ahead for this plan, the council will enable players to work out in-person with their coaches for the inaugural instance since the novel coronavirus pandemic halted the 2019-20 campaign in mid-March, prior to the start of the Big Dance, per this report by The Associated Press.
