KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Southeastern Conference schools will be able to bring athletes in all sports back to campus for voluntary activities starting June 8 at the discretion of each university.

The Big 12 plans to welcome football players back to campus a week later.

These are the latest signs that a college football season will be launched in some form this fall.

The move comes two days after the NCAA Division I Council voted to lift a moratorium on voluntary workouts on campus by football and basketball players, effective June 1.

The NCAA now says voluntary activities will be allowed in all sports starting June 1.
