Well, this certainly isn’t the update we needed right now. We’ve been cruising in the world of college football when it comes to testing.
It seems like there haven’t really been any major issues at all lately. Things seemed to be going well.

Now, Tulsa has slammed the pause button on practices because of coronavirus. This isn’t the direction we need to be trending in.
Tulsa might not be a P5 team, but they’re still an FBS program. We need every FBS team as healthy as possible. We need everyone playing!

Let’s hope Tulsa bounces back sooner than later. We need everyone playing in the fall! That much is for sure.
