thru July 31st. I would expect other conferences to follow..
"ALERT-Hosting or conducting of all in-person camps & coaches clinics for @SEC schools is suspended thru July 31. As previously announced, all other in-person athletics activities, including practices, meetings & other organized gatherings remain suspended thru May 31,” the SEC tweeted Friday afternoon."
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey further stated he is in no hurry to make a determination about the season.
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, earlier this week, suggested that July 15 could be the deadline for a season to be played without delay.
“For the most part we’ve looked at a six-week, preparatory window,” Bowlsby told radio personality Paul Finebaum. “There’s gonna be a re-acclimation period that I think can be accomplished in two-plus weeks. And beyond that I think you get something that looks a little like a regular preseason, and that makes July 15 about the time you have to be back at campus. You don’t just flip the switch and everybody shows up.
“I think we have to start getting some positive news by the middle of June to the middle of July at the latest. If it goes later than July 15 with return to activity, then I think we have to take a hard look at delaying the season.”
