NCAA allows more virtual interaction between coaches, teams across all Division I sports

On Wednesday, the NCAA’s Division I Council Coordination Committee agreed to allow more virtual interaction between coaches and teams across all Division I sports.

From April 20 to May 31, teams will be able to require up to eight hours of virtual nonphysical countable activities per week. Those activities include film review, chalk talks and team meetings, according to an NCAA press release.

“This change not only allows coaches to continue to educate their student-athletes but also fosters the connectivity that comes with team-based activities,” said council chair M. Grace Calhoun, athletic director at the University of Pennsylvania.
