There was no spring practice to sort through position competitions and allow coaches to start penciling in their starters for the upcoming season.
Michigan and college football programs across the country saw their spring sessions wiped out in mid-March because of the COVID-19 pandemic and now, although uncertainty about the upcoming season remains, teams will start working and preparing.
Although there hasn’t been an official announcement, Michigan is expected to open practice next week, along with a number of programs, including Michigan State.
The NCAA released a plan Thursday to the Division I Football Oversight Committee that will give teams six weeks to prepare for the season, which would start on time.
