The Resocialization of Collegiate Sports: NCAA Action Plan

[Jeff from Jax]

The NCAA released a long and detailed plan Friday to help schools bring athletes back to campus during a pandemic.

The Resocialization of Collegiate Sports: Action Plan Considerations was announced as schools across the country prepare for the return of football players as early as June 8.

Will they extend fall practice; increase the number of practice sessions, who knows how things will actually work out ?

Warning - NCAA Brain Fart

Although schools need to have testing and surveillance plans on the ready, the new guidelines do not include testing all athletes for COVID-19 upon arrival.

I did the 6" Q-Tip up my nostril for COVID-19 testing; only takes a minute; why is NCAA so stupid ? Never Mind !

Florida football players were first allowed to return to campus on May 26, with players returning subject to tests for COVID-19 and a full physical to make sure that any return to campus is a safe one.

But while some players have returned, others have not. The Gators can begin voluntary athletics activities on Monday, and by the sound of it, the word voluntary really means voluntary at this point in time. Florida isn't forcing anyone back in the middle of a global pandemic if they're not comfortable with it.
