It may not feel like it, but the college football season has technically started.
Monday July 13 is the first day that college football programs are permitted to begin organized team actives such as weight training, conditioning, and film sessions. Previously these activities were classified as mandatory, but the Big Ten announced that summer activities would remain voluntary through the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Michigan State football social team has started to share some content for the occasion. Below is a video from Twitter of a workout from this morning.
The teams’s official account also teased some new content coming out today, so we’ll be on the lookout for that.
MSU beat reporter Chris Solari was on campus today and posted a picture of an MSU QB working out with a couple of receivers at Munn Field.
Right now teams are permitted eight hours a week of walkthroughs and meetings. That will jump up to 20 hours per week on July 24. Then the first practices for the fall season are scheduled to begin on August 7.
We’ll see if the MSU football season ever gets off the ground with the planned ten-game conference-only schedule, but the team is still preparing as if it is.
