As the weekend arrives, the University of Nebraska is several days into welcoming student-athletes from across the country back to campus, and filing them into small-group workouts.

The planning, logistics and processes required for those opening steps toward returning to competition have come together over the past two-plus months and continue to develop on a near-daily basis. Around the Big Ten, other schools are beginning to follow similar protocols in welcoming athletes back.
