As multiple collegiate athletic programs and conferences reshape their fall sports schedules, WKU hopes that its teams, including the football team, can compete this fall.
During a press conference, Athletic Director Todd Stewart told reporters that he is “optimistic” that there will be a football season this fall.
“First and foremost, our players want to play,” Stewart said. “They are very excited to be back on campus.They’ve made it abundantly clear that they want to play.”
Even though the football team’s Sept. 12 matchup against Indiana University was cancelled, Stewart said that WKU is still trying to play a 12-game schedule this season.
