USC football’s return to football practice should follow the NCAA’s newly proposed preseason schedule.

The return of USC football appears more real than ever thanks to the NCAA’s newly-proposed preseason schedule.

The NCAA’s Football Oversight Committee finalized the plan on Thursday, but it will have to be approved by the Division I Council before it goes into effect.

Under the model, college football programs like USC football will be able to resume mandatory team activities by mid-July.

USC football’s likely preseason schedule:

  • July 13: Mandatory workouts can begin
  • July 24: Enhanced training can begin
  • August 6: Fall Camp can begin

The Trojans have been given the go-ahead by the Pac-12 to bring athletes back to campus and hold voluntary workouts beginning on June 15.
