NORMAN — Joe Castiglione has had doubts, he admitted Friday, that a college football season could happen this fall.
“I’m human,” the OU athletic director said during a Zoom conference with reporters when asked how many times he’d gone back and forth between believing a season could be played and that it would be wiped out due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s been the primary thing on my mind. It just depends how and where we’re getting information.”
Castiglione has listened to national experts like doctors Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx, local ones like OU chief COVID officer Dale Bratzler and team physician Brock Schnebel and plenty of people in between.
