Arizona ready to implement ‘measured’ return for student-athletes next week

The Arizona Wildcats begin welcoming student-athletes back to campus for voluntary workouts on Monday, the first day allowed by the Pac-12. How that process goes for the initial arrivals will dictate the way future groups are managed, athletic director Dave Heeke said Thursday.

“We have elected to take a very small and steady approach to this,” Heeke said. “It’s a comprehensive plan, but again it’s a measured plan. It’s also a fluid and flexible plan.”

While many schools across the country have brought back most or all of their football players at once, Arizona is going the opposite route.
