Big 12 commissioner remains hopeful fall season won’t be devastated by pandemic

By Matthew Soderberg | Sports Writer

Bob Bowlsby has been a busy man. The Big 12 Commissioner has had anvils falling on his face since the NBA postponed its season, as has the rest of the sports world. And he still isn’t sure when the industry will be back on its feet or what the consequences are so far.

Bowlsby addressed the media Thursday, with the bulk of his discussion on the financial ramifications of losing the spring season and the possibility of losing next fall. He said he’s had “several” calls with the NCAA over the past few weeks, and the Big 12 athletic directors have been holding calls twice weekly, if not more.
