Finally, a mechanism is in place to end our long sports nightmare. Georgia athletes have been cleared to Athens and Butts-Mehre. Yesterday, League commissioner Greg Sankey announced that League presidents voted to allow student-athletes back to campus on June 08. Georgia president Jere Morehead said:
“Thanks to the tremendous leadership of our Commissioner, Greg Sankey, the 14 SEC Presidents were able to reach a unanimous decision and select June 8 as the appropriate date to begin allowing football players access to athletic facilities under very controlled and monitored conditions. The great work of the SEC Medical Guidance Task Force, which included Ron Courson, provided the Presidents with thoughtful analysis which helped inform our decision.
