Quentin Bell was not surprised when he was told he couldn’t come to work.
He, like many of his co-workers during Oklahoma State University athletic events, anticipated being without a job while OSU halted sporting events over this extended quarantine period.
“We knew that everything was being shut down.” Bell said.
OSU employs many people like Bell who make game days run smoothly. People who operate concessions, tear things down at the conclusion of an event, and work behind the scenes would normally be in high demand right now.
Kyle Waters, OSU’s senior associate athletic director for facilities, says that his team of people would have been busy, even without football and basketball.
