The world is yearning to be back to normal after seeing the devastating effects of COVID-19 outbreak. Eager to return, many states in the U.S. have taken the initiative to open certain areas again.
However, given that each state has a varying level of cases and the uncertainty, collegiate athletic programs and sports fans alike are wondering: When will NCAA sports return?
In a previous interview with ESPN, Mark Emmert, the NCAA president, does not think schools would be ready to compete in fall sports unless students return to campuses around the nation.
“All of the commissioners and every president that I’ve talked to is in clear agreement: If you don’t have students on campus, you don’t have student-athletes on campus,” Emmert said in an interview with ESPN.
