Southeastern Conference schools will have athletes back on campus starting June 8.
The announcement ends a moratorium on on-campus athletic activities that began March 12, when spring sports athletics were canceled, beginning with the SEC men's basketball tournament and the first weekend of conference play in baseball. Five days later, all spring sports were canceled.
In March, Alabama football coach Nick Saban said he hoped to use summer workouts as a way to replace spring practice. "I’m not talking about having pads on, but just be able to teach system, teach scheme. We’ll have to evaluate the players based on fall camp. I think the players who benefit the most from spring practice and having these are really the young players on the team.”
