Indiana Head Football Coach Tom Allen says he’s charging his team and staff to spend the next three months sharpening their skills.
"That’s all about preparation, it’s all about improving the tools that you work with and getting them to the highest level possible," Allen said.
Four conferences, including the Big Ten and Pac-12, have postponed fall sports and hope to play in the spring.
Allen says to play in the spring, it must be safe, it has to be a quality experience, and it shouldn’t negatively affect the 2021 season.

"I think that is a big variable involved to make sure we are not putting too much of a workload on the body. That is where the later this goes, the less I feel good about it."
Allen says the NCAA gave players not playing football this fall 12 hours a week to do football-related activities. That includes meetings, lifting weights, skill work, and running.
The NCAA will likely decide in September on how to move forward with the college basketball season.
