SportsBeat KC: What’s known, and isn’t, about college football as return dates are set
The college football calendar is starting to populate with dates toward a return, with major conferences like the Big 12 establishing reporting days for players. On-campus team activities can start as soon as June 15.
Teams will proceed with caution, but these are important first steps back for college sports, which have been shelved since mid-March, when the COVID-19 pandemic reached a crisis pitch.
What will the return of sports on college campuses look like, and what are the concerns? On this episode of The Star’s daily SportsBeat KC podcast, Big 12 beat writers Jesse Newell (who covers Kansas) and Kellis Robinett (Kansas State) of The Star and Wichita Eagle are joined by TCU reporter Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in breaking down college football’s knowns and unknowns.
