The N-C-A-A is allowing football and basketball players to begin working out on campus in June.
Only four Big Ten football programs have announced specific dates when players will be permitted on campus. Nebraska will allow voluntary workouts June 1st, Illinois June 3rd, and Iowa and Ohio State June 8th.
Wisconsin has not set a specific date. A U-W statement says they’re still in the process of determining when allowing athletes back on campus would be appropriate amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
U-W Athletics is working with medical officials and to explore plans to welcome student-athletes back on a limited basis and with health and safety as the highest priority.
Big Ten programs are also waiting for the conference to either lift or extend its ban on organized team activities.
