Big 12 Mulls Criteria for Canceling, Postponing Games
by Jason Scott
A group of five Big 12 athletic directors is reportedly pondering different thresholds and criteria for canceling, postponing or forfeiting football games in the fall during what is almost certain to be a college football season without precedent.
CBS Sports reports that the group of ADs, which includes Baylor’s Mack Rhoades, Kansas State’s Gene Taylor, Oklahoma’s Joe Castiglione, TCU’s Jeremiah Donati and West Virginia’s Shane Lyons, is in the early stages of planning for how to proceed in the event that the virus impacts rosters or the ability of a particular program to field a competitive team.
The subcommittee is reportedly discussing a number of variables and considerations. CBS Sports reports that in the event that a football team’s roster of scholarship athletes is reduced by 25 percent, that may trigger a threshold for some sort of action. Similarly, if rosters are shortened, student-athletes may cross train at multiple positions.
