Ohio State is planning on reopening the Woody Hayes Athletic Center to football players on June 8, but that doesn’t mean that things are going back to normal quite yet.
Pending final approval from the university’s post-pandemic task force, Ohio State will reopen its athletic facilities to football players in less than three weeks, allowing them to utilize those facilities for voluntary workouts. That decision comes after the NCAA’s Division I Council reportedly voted Wednesday to allow college football and basketball teams to resume voluntary workouts on June 1.
Required team activities will still be prohibited through the end of June, though, and there will continue to be many guidelines in place that limit how many Buckeyes can work out together at once.
