Back to EpisodesReady or not (with some emphasis on ‘not’), here comes Big 12 football
Description
By Tuesday, two games had been removed from this Saturday’s Big 12 football schedule because of COVID-19. But they didn’t involved Kansas State or Kansas. Their seasons are set, for now, to open this weekend against non-conference opponents.
It’s unlikely that the Wildcats and Jayhawks — and nearly every college football team that takes the field this season — will be at full strength because of the pandemic. Coaches Chris Klieman and Les Miles have said they’re missing players in practice this week.
But ready or not, the Big 12 season is about to begin. Beat writers Kellis Robinett and Jesse Newell discuss the latest college football issues and the teams they cover with host Blair Kerkhoff on this episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast.
