The NCAA voted Wednesday to allow athletes in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball to return to campus from June 1 until June 30, Yahoo Sports reported.

Decisions to return will be voluntary, and safety measures — including testing and social distancing protocols — will have to be worked out by individual universities and conferences as well as local and state governments.

COVID-19 has disrupted the spring and summer college sports calendar, but the moratorium on all athletic activities for the three sports will now end May 31.
