And as of Friday, it would seem as if the Big 12 Conference is leaning towards the route of eventually navigating through the virus rather than keeping play suspended until a treatment is found. Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, during an appearance on AM 1300 The Zone in Austin, said that learning how to safely "co-exist" may be required in order a football season to be held this coming school year, assuming no vaccine is developed in time. "It will be very expensive to test with regularity ... we're going to have to find ways to co-exist with (the virus) and this is likely to be a bumpy road for the next 24 months or so," Bowlsby said during the interview. "We should expect that there will be disruptions. There may be a day where we find out we have an outbreak in the locker room or on the campus and we're not just going to be able to play the game on Saturday and we'll have to cancel it."<< >>There are just so many unknowns ... I'm up to two pages on a legal pad of questions that cannot be answered right now ... If we're not back participating in football preparation by somewhere around mid-July, we're probably going to have to implement some the scenarios we've been working on to delay the season a bit."<< [/QUOTE]
