Athletic Activities June 1

Transcript

00:00 (upbeat music)

00:02 - Are you ready for some football, basketball,

00:10 some practice, maybe?

00:12 How about just some voluntary activities?

00:14 That's what we're going to call it on college campuses.

00:17 Starting June 1st,

00:19 the NCAA Division I Management Council

00:22 ruled Wednesday night that they're gonna open the doors now

00:27 for schools to bring back athletes in,

00:30 obviously a safe set of protocols,

00:32 but to begin working out voluntarily on campus

00:37 together in small groups,

00:39 and we will see how it goes.

00:41 Hopefully it goes well.

00:42 If you want to see football in the fall,

00:43 this is the first step towards that.

00:45 But the schools,

00:46 the teams that are allowed back football,

00:48 men's basketball, women's basketball,

00:51 we are awaiting word on other sports soon,

00:54 probably later this week or early next week.

00:57 But a big step forward.

00:59 We'll see for these schools how soon they want to be back.

01:02 We'll see what sort of the testing protocol

01:04 they're going to put into place

01:06 and exactly how they're going to work these workouts.

01:09 I was told by one athletic director

01:11 that they had a quote,

01:12 "pretty sobering call with Brian Hainline,

01:16 the chief medical officer of the NCAA

01:18 about the cost of testing."

01:20 It's gonna be just one of many hurdles

01:22 that schools are going to have to work their way through.

01:25 They want the players back.

01:26 They want the games to go on.

01:28 But what has to happen before then, a whole lot.

01:30 We'll see how they handle it.
