Opinion: For OU president Joe Harroz, football still a constant topic for Sooners and Big 12 in pandemic

You want percentages on the upcoming football season? OU president Joe Harroz will give you a percentage.

Seventy percent.

Seventy percent of the questions he gets from off-campus people want to know if football will be played and what football will look like.

“It is the most common question I get asked,” Harroz said.

In these crazy times of a pandemic and civil rights protests and a cratered economy, maybe it’s reassuring that football still can commandeer the passions of a people. Just as long as everyone knows Harroz will offer no more percentages.

Yes, he says, the Sooners plan to play football come September.
