Big 12 commissioner Bowlsby says spring games are 'Unlikely,' raises possibility of football season with no crowds

Bob Bowlsby intends for the Big 12 to have a normal football season, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he can’t predict what will happen in the fall.

In a teleconference Thursday, Big 12 commissioner Bowlsby talked about a range of changes in the sports world that are related to this pandemic, and the unknowns about football season were a major topic.

“Right now, our plan is to play the football season as it’s scheduled,” Bowlsby said. “If we find out that we have to depart from that, we will do so, and we will do it with plenty of time to let people know what it is we’re thinking and to challenge what we’re thinking.
