“We’re certainly much closer to making these kinds of decisions. But we are still trying to use any and all available time on the clock,” said Joe Castiglione, Oklahoma’s Athletic Director during an appearance on The Franchise on Friday morning.
Castiglione joined the show to discuss the current climate surrounding college football, specifically the prospects of the upcoming season.
As Castiglione alluded, the beginning fo the 2020 season is rapidly approaching, yet the AD remained steadfast that there is still time on the clock.
“We’re not the kind of group that gets up early in the fourth quarter when things don’t look very well to try and beat the traffic. That’s not the way we’ve been approaching our decision-making.”
In the past few weeks, both the Big Ten and Pac-12 have switched to a conference-only schedule for the 2020 season, which has shifted the tectonic plates of college football so to speak.
Here is a look at what a conference-only schedule for OU may look like.
As programs across the country scramble in an attempt to make this season happen, it appears that Castiglione and all of OU’s athletic programs have remained pleasantly calm.
“There’s still so much more for us to learn. We want to be able to use all the time on the clock and make sure we really process every piece of information before we make those final decisions.”
OU announced another round of COVID-19 testing results on Monday, submitting only one positive result out of 100 tests.
