The NCAA Division I council approved a six-week preseason practice plan ahead of the 2020 season on Wednesday.
Required summer workouts could begin as early as July 6 for certain schools, per Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger. Schools were allowed to begin voluntary workouts on campus on June 1.
“This is the culmination of a significant amount of collaboration in our effort to find the best solution for Division I football institutions,” Shane Lyons, the Division I council chair and director of athletics at West Virginia, said in a statement.
