NCAA D-I Council Set To Address On-Campus Moratorium

The NCAA D-I Council meets today, and the moratorium for on-campus activities, which runs through May 31, is on the agenda. The council, as the organization's chief rules-making body, could vote to lift the moratorium. If that happens, it would set the table for schools and conferences to bring their athletes back to campus -- voluntarily at first.

Meanwhile, the SEC is poised to take its own action when university presidents meet on a call Friday. If the campus leaders agree, they could reopen athletic facilities as soon as June 1 for voluntary workouts. Based on recent comments from multiple ADs in the conference, it would be surprising if they do not do that. Other conferences will likely follow; the Pac-12 is looking at its own ban, which goes through May 31 as well. The SEC, for now, has not officially announced a vote on resuming athletic activities (Michael Smith, SBJ College).
