Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said on Toby Rowland’s podcast Friday that Missouri State has committed to using Oklahoma testing kits and protocols, as well as the OU laboratory.
The Sooners petitioned for to move their opener against Missouri State on September 5 up one week. The idea behind moving the game up is to allow one week in between games to focus on coronavirus testing. Oklahoma would also have an off week following their second game versus Tennessee.
Castiglione told Rowland as of now they don’t have any more information, but said they could get it ”Very soon,”
“I don’t want to pinpoint a day, but we’re starting to get into the importance range.” He said.
Oklahoma’s third round of testing that was done on Thursday revealed that the Sooners have no active cases of COVID-19 among the players or staff.
So far, the Big Ten and Pac-12 have moved to conference-only play for the 2020 season. The Big 12 is reportedly eying late July for a decision on their fall sports schedule.
