USC football players can begin returning to campus as the Trojans announced a three-phase plan.
On Tuesday evening, USC athletics announced a plan for the return of student-athletes from six sports, including USC football.
That means, for the first time since the beginning of March when the coronavirus pandemic forced a shutdown of Spring Camp and the NCAA tournament, Trojan players will be able to take to the practice field and athletics facilities.
“We approached this process with extreme patience, prudence, and the utmost regard for the health and safety of our student-athletes, taking time to learn from the experiences of our peers to refine our plans and processes,” athletic director Mike Bohn said in a statement.
