SEC pessimistic about spring football practices

NCAA

BIRMINGAM, Ala. (AP) – Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey hasn’t ruled out the prospect of holding some spring football practices, but he’s not all that optimistic.

Sankey says on a conference call with reporters that “practically that window’s pretty narrow.” The SEC and other conferences have canceled championships for spring sports and spring football games, and suspended athletic activities until at least April 15.

He also cited federal recommendations limiting the size of gatherings.
