Show Notes
The lineup is in for college football, at least at the moment.
Moving toward a season are the Big 12, SEC and ACC. Not having a season are the Big Ten and Pac-12. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted college sports in a major way in March with the cancellation of the NCAA Tournament.
Now it’s playing havoc with college football.
On this episode of The Star’s daily sports podcast, K-State beat writer Kellis Robinett chats with SportsBeat KC host Blair Kerkhoff about the news of the past few days. How did we come to this, when it appeared all major conferences were on course to play games as scheduled this fall? After a break, you’ll hear from Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, who says the league is taking its cues from medical professionals.
Also revealed Wednesday: the Big 12 football schedules for each team.
