Big 12’s Bowlsby raises possibility of football without fans in 2020

There is no such thing as predicting the future in the ever-changing midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, but there is still an ability to plan for the many things that may or may not happen in the coming months. That’s as true in the world of college athletics as it is anywhere else.

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby discussed the issues directly facing his league and the 2020 college football season in a Thursday teleconference.

Though the league hasn’t issued any direct mandates for members to cancel their spring football games, Bowlsby said it’s clearly unlikely there will be a chance for any school to hold one.
