NCAA Football Oversight Committee recently had a conference call, and Oklahoma safety Patrick Fields took advantage of his chance to speak.
Fields, who is a student athlete representative on the committee, reportedly spoke eloquently about players around the country’s desire to have more interaction with their strength coaches.
Due to the coronavirus, players have been having to workout on their own, and some sports are just now letting players back into their facilities.
SOURCES: One takeaway from the NCAA Football Oversight Committee call on Thursday. The student athlete reps on the committee, including OU safety Pat Fields, spoke eloquently on the need for more interaction with their strength coaches. That’s limited now per legislation.

It’s no secret that Fields is one of the most well spoken players on Oklahoma’s squad, and he is often times a target for interviews.
Field has played two years with the Sooners, already seeing the field in 18 games. He finished with 44 solo tackles in 2019, and now has 52 overall for his collegiate career. Six of his tackles were for loss last season, including two sacks.
Fields best game to date was against Iowa State last season, when he recorded six solo tackles, eight in total, and assisted on a tackle in the backfield.
The committee will soon discuss the prospect of fractured schedules, and whether FBS teams can play multiple FCS teams without repercussions towards bowl eligibility.
