A big step was made Wednesday for college sports to return.
The NCAA Division-I Council voted to approve voluntary athletic activities in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball starting June 1 and going through June 30, according to Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel. Thamel added the council is expected to address other sports within the next week.
This is a big step to the return of college sports, but it isn’t at the destination. It will now be incumbent upon governments, conferences and individual universities on whether they allow student-athletes to return to campus.
“[A return] could be earlier in June, it could be mid-June, it could be late June or early July,” Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby recently told the Dallas Morning News.
