The question has been asked, repeatedly — which FCS schools have already cranked up voluntary workouts for their student athletes, and which schools haven't? We polled the 127 FCS schools and received answers from 75 of them about how they're handling the CoVid crisis. Not surprisingly, most schools in the Northeast — the area of the United States hit hardest by the virus — have not opened up workouts yet. Of the 75 respondents, 39 have already started back up or have a date picked for returning. Obviously much of this depends on geography. The full list of respondents is below, listed alphabetically.
