Former Oklahoma coach , who led the Sooners to the national title in 2000, helped out at practice Tuesday as the team handles a COVID-19 outbreak that canceled last week's game against West Virginia and has "affected all parts of our program," coach Lincoln Riley said (h/t Sam Khan Jr. of ESPN).
Riley said the team has had a "contingency plan" with Stoops, who serves as "special assistant" to athletic director Joe Castiglione, all season. On Monday, the school's athletic department released data that showed 27 cases of the virus among athletes, with 13 staff members also affected, though these numbers were not specific to the football team.
