Oklahoma is trying to reschedule their first game so they get a 'bye' week before playing us. Riley says it's because it would help them test for COVID . There's a lot of contingency stuff going on right now but you best believe some are using it to try and position themselves to have an advantage.

quote:

OU has petitioned the NCAA for a waiver that would allow the Sooners to move their 2020 football opener against Missouri State from Sept. 5 to Aug. 29, The Oklahoman has learned. Missouri State apparently is agreeable to the move.

OU athletic director Joe Castiglione’s rationale in this pandemic-stricken year is that moving the opener would give OU an off week after each of its first two games, which could be valuable with the testing of players for the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.


^^That is some bullshite.

Require it to be an independent lab chosen by the NCAA, include drugs in the test, and any player and/or coach that tests positive must sit for the next two games.
