What Could a Big 12-Only Schedule Look Like for Oklahoma State

The NCAA and Big 12 disagree about how football could be played this fall. First, let’s look at what Mark Emmert, president of the NCAA said recently.

You don’t want to ever put student-athletes at greater risk than the rest of the student body.” [NewsOK]
