Arizona to resume student-athlete re-entry plan next week

The Arizona Wildcats will resume bringing student-athletes back to campus on Monday, the school has announced.

Freshman football players will be the first batch of athletes to return since the UA paused its re-entry plan in late June due to Pima County's high COVID-19 case count. Prior to that it had seen 83 football players come back to campus for voluntary off-season workouts.

Those 83 players had been subject to a combined 366 coronavirus tests as of July 17, with three positive cases.

The next group to return to campus after football will include men's and women's basketball, according to Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star.
