IRVING, Texas — The Big 12 Conference Board of Directors approved Friday a phase-in for student-athletes to return to campus to engage in voluntary activities related to sport participation.

Beginning June 15, football student-athletes will be permitted to access campus athletic facilities and support personnel  for voluntary conditioning and training exercises.

Volleyball, soccer and cross-country student-athletes are able to return July 1. All other Big 12 student-athletes may return to campus activities July 15.

This phased approach is intended to permit gradual adoption of best practices for mitigation of COVID-19, as well as ensuring a safe environment and appropriately prepared facilities. Until these dates, the Conference’s activities policy that was scheduled to sunset May 31 remains in effect for all Big 12 student-athletes.
