Greetings Longhorn Nation,

Tuesday was a very good day. After extensive conversations among our Big 12 presidents, medical teams/advisors, and athletics directors, we made a unified decision to continue forward with fall sports seasons. The information that was shared, discussions that were had and dialogue between all of our colleagues across the conference and with Commissioner Bowlsby and his staff were insightful, thoughtful and critical to making what we all agreed was the best decision for our league. The health and well-being of our student-athletes are and always have been at the forefront of all conversations. We all believe that there are protocols and procedures in place for a safe pathway to play football this fall.
