NCAA officials nix ban on on-campus training for football, men’s and women’s basketball

Some Longhorn athletes will now be allowed to train on campus from June 1 to June 30.

On Wednesday, the NCAA Division I Council voted to end the ban on on-campus training enacted in light of the pandemic, allowing athletes to return their training on a voluntary basis, Yahoo Sports reports. The ruling pertains to football and men’s and women’s basketball. That, however, susceptible to change in the near future, Sports Illustrated writes.

Because the workouts are voluntary, on-field coaches aren’t allowed interaction with players. As SI notes, strength staff members will be charged with supervising activity.
