Western Kentucky began reintroducing athletes to its campus Monday, when 65 members of the football team were expected to return for workouts before the remainder of the team comes back June 8 -- the same day the university plans to bring back its volleyball and women's soccer teams -- according to the COVID-19 restart plan the school introduced May 28.
Mike Gaddie, WKU's associate athletic director for sports medicine and athletic training, discussed the plan to bring student-athletes back to campus on the 13th episode of WKU's "Beyond The Hill" podcast, which was released Monday.
"It takes a lot of individuals and you have to surround yourself with those great people that professionally you respect and trust and know that they're going to do everything they possibly can to make this process work," Gaddie said on the podcast.
