NCAA President Mark Emmert on Return of College Sports: 'It's Going to Be a Very Unusual School Year'

In an interview with NCAA.com's Andy Katz, NCAA president Mark Emmert touched on a variety of issues regarding how college sports is dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. While much remains unknown, one thing is certain: the next year of college sports will be unlike any that have come before.

Emmert acknowledged that NCAA rules could be "relaxed," which could signal changes in how the governing body handles transfers during this period. Among the myriad issues at play is how schools in states with different shelter-in-place policies are treated in regards to competitive advantages.
