SportsBeat KC: Was there even a decision for SEC when it came to a football season?
The drama in college football this week involved the Big Ten, Pac-12 and the Big 12. Would their conferences have fall sports, including football? That never seemed to be doubt in the SEC. The league issued a statement that called for a “safe return to sports,” by commissioner Greg Sankey.
On this episode of The Star’s daily SportsBeat KC podcast, Mizzou beat writer Souichi Terada talks about moving forward in football at MU and across the SEC. How are the Tigers handling the COVID-19 pandemic and how has the program responded since the conference made its decision? Also, you’ll hear from Tigers football coach Eli Drinkwitz on these topics.
