Alabama football and other SEC schools expect a green light Friday for players to return on June 1.

Alabama football fans will be happy on Friday. It is expected Presidents and Chancellors from the SEC schools will vote to allow players back to campus for training. The exact date could be as soon as June 1, or perhaps June 15. Even if unexpected resistance argues for a further delay, there is no expectation that delay would extend beyond July 1.

The NCAA greased the skids two days earlier, saying athletes could return to campus for ‘voluntary’ workouts.
