The NCAA has started clearing the path for athletes to return to campus for voluntary workouts during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Division I Council voted Wednesday to allow the workouts for football and basketball players starting June 1, ending a moratorium on athletic activities in those sports.
The return of athletes in other sports will be taken up at a later date.
The University of Wisconsin and others in the Big Ten Conference are under separate restrictions on organized team activities imposed by the league through June 1. There was no immediate word whether the Big Ten moratorium would be allowed to expire or be extended.
