MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — WVU football players will return to campus between June 15-29 under the WVU Athletic Department’s phased-in plan to restart football after what will be a three-month shutdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Phase 1, announced Friday afternoon, will first bring coaches and staff back to the Puskar Center between June 8-22, players will return in a two-week slot beginning in mid-June.
“Phase 1 is the first step to getting Mountaineer football ready for the 2020 season,” WVU AD Shane Lyons said in Friday’s announcement. “This two-week phased approach enables us to safely get our football staff and players back to campus and will provide the guidance for the return of other student-athletes starting in July.
