UNDATED (AP) — Big 12 schools have agreed to play one nonconference football game this year to go along with their nine league contests as plans for the pandemic-altered season continued to fall into place.
The Big 12′s university presidents signed off on a 10-game schedule, adjusted to deal with potential disruptions from COVID-19 that gives schools the ability to play one nonconference opponent at home. The 10-team Big 12 already plays a nine-game, round-robin conference schedule.
The conference said league play is tentatively set to begin in mid-to-late September and all nonconference games are expected to be completed before league play starts.
