Southeastern Conference schools will have athletes back on campus starting June 8.
The SEC announced Friday afternoon that member institutions are allowed to have student-athletes back on campus for voluntary workouts starting on that date, all under, “strict supervision of designated university personnel and safety guidelines developed by each institution.”
The University of Kentucky is expected to finalize its plan to bring athletes back to campus in the coming days. Louisville announced Thursday it will begin bringing athletes back to campus next week.
"With the NCAA and SEC approving a return to activity, we will now work with our partners at the state and local government and university levels to determine the date that our student-athletes will come back," UK athletics director Mitch Barnhart said in a statement.
