The Virginia Football team returned to Grounds on July 5th to start voluntary workouts. Head coach Bronco Mendenhall took time Monday (July 13) to chat with the media about the return to Charlottesville, the protocols in place to keep players safe, and the possibility of a full or shortened season in the fall.
Mendenhall called their plan “intentional and conservative,” saying, “We worked with the end in mind, we work through from required activities, which is coming up this upcoming Wednesday. We really tried to bump up our return as close to required activities as possible. Knowing that and trusting that our players would behave responsibly, maturely, would train appropriately, and be with their families at a time that they normally don’t have.
