CEDAR FALLS — Northern Iowa football coach Mark Farley says they are using smaller groups in the weight room to help keep players separated.

Farley says limiting the weight room to groups of 10 will help keep the players separated.

Farley believes it is the best way to keep players safe so they can eventually move to more group activity.

Veteran players returned this week to begin voluntary workouts.

 

 

NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says there is a “100%” chance of big league ball this year. Major League Baseball will make another proposal to start the pandemic-delayed season in empty ballparks, but Manfred vowed to unilaterally order opening day if an agreement is not reached. The players’ association made its second proposal Tuesday, asking for an 89-game regular season and 100% of prorated salaries. MLB’s plan a day earlier was for a 76-game season, would guarantee 50% of prorated salaries and hinge 25% in additional money on the postseason’s completion.
