This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's allowed because that's what conferences collectively by No Right Turn on Red

voted to do yesterday. Everyone knew that permitting voluntary activities on campus would mean some schools would be able to bring players back earlier than others, while other could bring back more players than others. I've linked the story from Louisville's website, which has more details than Forde's tweet.

Conference level discussions have been happening for a few weeks now. If ND or any other ACC school had a problem with one member school starting campus activities before others, they likely would have raised it with the ACC already to see if they wanted to make a conference mandate, as you suggest. This likely isn't a surprise to any of the ADs or coaches in the conference.

Competitive equity, especially concerning summer workouts, is low on the priority list of ADs right now. Health, safety, and mental well-being are the top priorities. Also, these voluntary workouts for basketball and football are going to be weights and conditioning only, no coach supervised or conducted exercises. The benefit of these summer workouts likely lie more in the ability of players to reconnect with their teammates than anything physical they'd gain from a few weeks of modified weight training.
