With student-athletes returning to campus on Monday for voluntary workouts, the University of Toledo is prepared to offer them a safe environment amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
On the athletic front, Toledo has been preparing for this return for quite some time now. Toledo assistant athletic director for sports medicine Brian Jones has been part of a University-wide pandemic response committee that has met every Tuesday and Thursday for the past six weeks.
“As part of that greater University committee, each unit is then responsible for developing their own plans specific to their area,” Jones said. “In conjunction with that committee, part of the NCAA’s plan was to make sure that you are in line with your state and local governments first and then once those two boxes were checked, then it was making sure your program was aligned with the university.
