Getting student-athletes back on college campuses is the first step in confirming that there will be a fall sports season. "We have moved from 'The Hammer,' which I call where we just locked everything down, to what I call 'The Dance.'" "We need to learn to dance with the pandemic rather than being fearful of it," West Virginia president Gordon Gee said, according to CBS. But some schools are to the point where they believe they can't continue to fear the coronavirus. Because of that, the future of fall sports - specifically college football - looked to be in danger. Prior to this announcement, there had been a moratorium from the NCAA on all sports through May because of the coronavirus pandemic. In addition to that, college football reporter Nicole Auerbach reported that a waiver allowing eight hours of virtual activities per week will continue through June 30, too. The rest of the sports will be acted on at a later date, which is expected to be next week, according to Thamel. And on Wednesday afternoon, the thought of sports being back full-time became even more of a reality.Īccording to Yahoo! Sports reporter Pete Thamel, the NCAA Division I Council voted to approve voluntary athletic activities in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball beginning on June 1 and going through June 30. College sports might not officially be back, but they seem to be a little bit closer to a return every day.
