With the college football world flipped on its head as of Sunday night, we thought a central place for updates would be a good service for our readers. Check back here for updates as the week goes on.
Wednesday, 11:00 am update: The Big 12 has released the revised conference schedule. For Oklahoma State, it's a completely new slate. You can find the complete breakdown here.
Commissioner Bob Bowlsby says teams will test for Covid-19 three times per week during the season, likely on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday evenings.
Tuesday, 8:30 pm update: The show goes on for the Big 12. Our sister site on Rivals SoonerScoop.com broke the news that the league's presidents voted to move forward with a fall season.
The Big 12 schedule should be released soon. Two things that came from the president's meeting was that the Big 12 will push the conference season start back to Sept. 26 and that additional layers of testing and prevention will be put in place. Heart scans for positive cases are an additional protective layer for student-athletes.
Tuesday, 2:55 pm update: As expected, the PAC-12 is out for fall football. Reported by Oklahoma State alum Brett McMurphy.
Tuesday, 2:00 p.m. update: The Big 10 has cancelled all fall sports, including football. That turns all eyes immediately to the PAC-12, which is expected to follow suit. Then it's all eyes on the Big 12 and/or ACC. The SEC remains committed to playing football this fall, but absolutely must have a coalition with the Big 12 or ACC (preferably both).
Oklahoma State practiced this morning. Practice was pushed to later in the morning than previously-scheduled due to changing over from full face shields to a gaiter-like mouth and nose covering.
Monday 4:38 update: The Group of Five is now three. The Mountain West has followed the MAC in cancelling football this fall.
Monday 2:30 update: Add Oklahoma State sophomore QB Spencer Sanders to the #WeWantToPlay movement.
Monday 1:15 update: A respected source for Big 12 news for many years, the Dallas Morning News' Chuck Carlton is reporting potentially big news for the conference
Current status (Monday afternoon): The B1G presidents and chancellors have voted to not play this fall. Or they have not had such a vote. That's a very muddy area at the moment. Regardless of whether there has been a vote, it's obvious that's the direction that conference is heading. And the PAC-12 is likely to follow.
The SEC and ACC appear to be moving forward with their plan to play this fall. The Big 12 has remained pretty mum through Monday afternoon, and may actually be the power player of the moment.
As for Oklahoma State, they moved forward with practice, starting the second week of fall camp this morning. A previously-scheduled media session (via video) post-practice was canceled and expected to be re-scheduled later in the week. No reason was given for the cancellation, but it's safe to say that the uncertainty surrounding all things college football played a big part.
As for the #WeWantToPlay movement started by Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, through early Monday afternoon three OSU players have co-signed the Twitter movement: DT Brendon Evers, WR Dee Anderson and RB Chuba Hubbard.
The MAC, which was the first FBS conference to cancel the fall football season for its members now has the first of what will likely be many players entering the transfer portal.
