The 2020 college football season, should it transpire at all, has already lost a bit of its luster.
As any number of potential changes hang in the balance, the Big 12 made one official on Tuesday.
Big 12 schools have agreed that bands and spirit groups will not accompany their teams on road games this season, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported Tuesday.
“I just think all the schools agreed, for safety and social distancing and everything, it would make the most sense.” Texas Tech senior associate athletics director Robert Giovannetti told the Avalanche-Journal.
It is unclear at this time how this decision will affect neutral site games, such as the Big 12 Championship Game. But there is reason to believe that the Big 12’s most historic neutral site matchup will not be affected.
The Austin-American Statesman’s Brian Davis reports that both Oklahoma and Texas are still likely to bring their bands and spirit squads to October 10th’s Red River Showdown.
