What Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said about sports returning during COVID-19

It's on everyone's minds. When will sports be back?

The NCAA Division I Council on Wednesday voted to allow athletes in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball to resume voluntary on-campus workouts, beginning June 1, USA TODAY Sports reported.

The move lifts a prohibition that has been in place since March, when the coronavirus pandemic resulted in a variety of actions shuttering college sports, including the cancellation of the NCAA basketball tournaments.
