The University of Arizona isn’t bringing additional student-athletes back to campus for the time being, but workouts will continue for football players who are already here.
The UA on Monday announced that it would “pause” its reentry plan, which began June 15 with a group of 19 football players participating in voluntary on-campus workouts. The Star initially misinterpreted the school’s news release, assuming it meant that the entire program had been halted.
Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke clarified the situation in a phone interview Tuesday afternoon, saying the 83 student-athletes who had returned — all football players — would continue to work out.
