SEC announces new game day protocols for fall sports

With the 2020 football season expected to go on as currently planned, new game day protocols have been announced.

Earlier on Friday, the Southeastern Conference released guidelines that will apply to game operations for all 14 schools. Some of the main highlights include who will be allowed on the field as essential personnel, what will happen to on-field performances such as halftime shows, and how many members of the media will be allowed to attend.

“The health of those around SEC athletics events remains in focus and, following advice of the SEC’s Return to Activity and Medical Guidance Task Force, we continue to develop policies intended to provide a healthy return to competition,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement.
