Plans to reopen NFL and NBA practice facilities are being put in place

The NBA says some players can voluntarily work out at their team practice facilities starting on Friday, with some very specific conditions and only in places where local and state governments have signed off on such openings. But it’s unclear how many — if any — players will be back on the floor when the league ban gets lifted. 

 

The NFL has set protocols for reopening team facilities and has told the 32 teams to have them in place by May 15. The first phase to deal with the coronavirus pandemic would involve a limited number of non-player personnel. That number initially would be 50% of the non-player employees and up to a total of 75 on any single day being approved to be at the facility. But state or local regulations could require a lower number.


 

All but one of the 14 schools in the Southeastern Conference have indicated they plan to reopen their campuses for the fall semester, a step widely believed to be needed to resume football and other sports. Vanderbilt is the only school that hasn’t announced its plans for the fall.



 

Sunday on WPXN NASCAR will have a rebroadcast of the 2014 STP 500 from Martinsville Speedway. Race will run from noon til 3pm.
