USC football is one step closer to returning to practice.
USC football could theoretically get its student-athletes back on campus and participating in voluntary workouts as early as June 15.
That’s because on Tuesday the Pac-12 announced its plan for a return to in-person voluntary workouts beginning in mid-June.
“The Pac-12 is committed to the well-being of our student-athletes, and the decision to allow for voluntary workouts, subject to a determination by each school, is guided by the advice of our medical experts and will be supported by the detailed protocols established by our medical advisory committee in concert with our campus’ own safety guidelines,” Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement
“As states have either already opened or begin to open up access to parks, gyms and other training facilities, student-athletes should have the option at this time to be in, what for many, will be a much safer environment on campus, where they can have access to the best available health, well-being and training support.
