UNDATED (AP) – Southeastern Conference athletic directors met in person Monday at league headquarters in Alabama to discuss the prospects for a football season with COVID-19 cases spiking throughout much of the South.

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement afterward that it’s “clear
that current circumstances related to COVID-19 must improve.” The Big Ten and
Pac-12 have said they would only play conference schedules this fall in football
and other sports. Sankey said SEC leaders “believe that late July will provide
the best clarity for making the important decisions ahead of us.”

Among topics discussed were possible scheduling options for holding athletic
competition this fall, along with game management at events.
