Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby says thinking football teams won't test positive for COVID-19 'not realistic'

At the moment, Texas has no plans to stop voluntary football workouts even though 13 Longhorns have tested positive or presumed positive for COVID-19, the school announced.

Two players were already known to have tested positive last week and were in self-isolation. School officials said Thursday that 11 more players tested positive while another 10 are asymptomatic but in self-quarantine due to contact tracing.

In addition, four UT players have tested positive for the COVID-19 antibody, team physician Allen Hardin said in a statement.

Federal laws prevent UT from disclosing the names of those athletes who tested positive.
