Resumption of Athletic Activities
All athletic plans should adhere to NCAA and Gulf South Conference regulations and CDC guidelines, and should be consistent with this plan where possible. Prior to the resumption of activities, all staff and student-athletes will receive targeted education on COVID-19 and be fully informed of relevant prevention measures.
Events
All university-sponsored athletic events will be conducted in compliance with all governing regulations (i.e., CDC, state and local public health ordinances, and NCAA and Gulf South Conference guidelines), and consistent with this plan.
Because of the uncertainty surrounding future COVID-19-related restrictions, the Department of Athletics will develop multiple models for the admission of event spectators at various density levels.
