OU football: Lincoln Riley calls for level playing field for Power 5 programs during coronavirus pandemic

NORMAN — OU coach Lincoln Riley said he’s hoping guidance from the NCAA soon on uniform rules for college football programs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Right now it’s been by conference and honestly it’s all over the place,” Riley said Thursday morning on SportsTalk 1400, adding he expected the NCAA to provide such guidance in the next few days.

“Our conference has been more stringent on it. We’ve not been able to do virtual meetings. Our players have not been able to come into our weight rooms even on an individual basis. We haven’t been able to send them equipment, whereas a lot of other conferences like the ACC right now, they’ve been able to do all those things.
