The Big Ten’s decision to reverse itself and allow its member schools to play in the fall is probably good for college football, but the same cannot be said for Oklahoma football.
The idea of two major conferences opting out of playing college football this fall is unprecedented and clearly would dilute the quality of the product for what is always a large television viewing audience, not too mention passionate fans in those college communities who elected to sit on the sidelines because of the nationwide threat posed by COVID-19.
