Big 12 Commissioner: 'Hard to Forecast' Whether Football Games Could be Played Without Fans

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said there is a chance football games could be played without fans this fall due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Bowlsby addressed the media on a conference call on Thursday and said the Big 12 is already looking at how the virus could impact the upcoming football season.

"It's hard to forecast those things," Bowlsby said, per Stadium's Brett McMurphy.

Bowlsby added that the conference will monitor the pandemic over the next 60-90 days to decide if the upcoming football season should be delayed. The season is set to start on Sept.
