Will we have college football in Oklahoma this fall?

Maybe, maybe not.

Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley and his administration and Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy and his administrators desperately want to have a fall season. Riley has admitted in interviews that moving the season to the spring to avoid the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic has to be considered.

Tulsa coach Phillip Montgomery wants to play this fall but it may not be up to him.

The Pac-12 Conference has canceled nonconference games and so has the Big Ten conference. Oklahoma State is scrambling to replace a home game with Oregon State that was scratched.

OU has moved its home game against Missouri State one week to give the Sooners two weeks between their first three games (Missouri State, Tennessee and Army). And the Army game could be in jeopardy because it supposed to be played in New York.

The state high school association is planning on playing football this fall.

OU, OSU and TU have football players back on campus already and drills are set to begin in August.

Questions remain.

Will fans have to wear masks? If it were up to Mayor G.T. Bynum, they would or face charges if they don’t wear them.

Can OU allow 85,000 fans in their stadium to watch a game? If they limit it to 30,000 fans, who gets in and who gets left out? If a fan gets the coronavirus at an OU game, will they sue the university? Will everyone’s temperature be taken as they enter the stadium? Will the games be played without any fans at all?

Will the average college sports program survive without football revenue?

These are thorny issues.

The bottom line could be no college football this fall.
