Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby Says Empty Stadium Games are a Possibility in 2020

With how fast everything is changing, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby can’t plan too far ahead in terms of the 2020 football season.

With the world, much less football conferences, unsure exactly what the COVID-19 pandemic will look like near August, there’s a fear that any made contingency plan would have to be thrown out with new information seemly coming out every few hours.

In an hourlong teleconference Thursday afternoon, Bowlsby said he has heard things will start to return to normal everywhere in timeframes of six to eight weeks from now to 10 to 12 weeks from now and that there could be a rebound of the pandemic in a few months.
