Ole Miss athletics director Keith Carter remains optimistic that the college football season will start on time.
In an interview on the Oxford Exxon Podcast, Carter said today he is hoping to bring student-athletes back to campus by July 1, a date that would allow for the season to begin as scheduled.
“I just feel like there’s some momentum,” Carter said Tuesday, via RebelGrove.com. “Will we be playing football Labor Day weekend? I can’t say that yet but that’s our hope and that’s what we’re going to continue to push for.”
Though the goal initially was to get student-athletes on campus in June, he is confident that a July return would allow for a smooth transition into fall sports, including college football.
