Oklahoma athletic director is not trying to alter non-conference games

Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione joined Siruis radio to set the record straight on Oklahoma’s non-conference dealings.

With the coronavirus pandemic creating uncertainty throughout the sports world, Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione joined Holly Rowe, Gabe Ikard and Chris Plank on Siruis radio to set the record straight on Oklahoma’s non-conference dealings.

The Sooners are currently set to travel to West Point, New York to play Army in 2020 before conference games begin.

New York has been the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, with over 192,394 total cases in the state according to The New York Times on May 14.

“We’re not investigating any other alternative with non-conference games,” Castiglione said. “Sure there may be some last minute adjustment, but you start trying to move one it creates a chain reaction. I don’t see that being the wisest way to go forward with football.”

College football has yet to see cancellations or postponements outside of spring practices and games.

Oklahoma’s season is currently set to begin on September 5.
