If Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy hasn’t realized by now that the current coronavirus situation is not going to end based on the college football schedule, he’s probably never going to get it. USA TODAY Sports' DanWolken explains:
As challenges loom for college athletics because of coronavirus, question becomes: Is the party over?
But Gundy is pushing for something different, something so tone-deaf that it’s obvious he sees himself not as part of an institution of higher education but as the head of a professional franchise that operates as a separate entity entirely. Unlike the pros, though, Oklahoma State has the advantage of not needing to pay players and thus the ability to keep overpaying Gundy to finish fourth in the Big 12 and go 2-13 in his career against Oklahoma.
Let’s be clear about this: If it is too dangerous for colleges to open their doors to students this fall, college football programs will not be up and running on campus. It’s a non-starter. Not just because it would defy logic — if it’s too risky for regular students, why is it not too risky for football players? — but because the argument that they’re running an amateur sports organization would be gone forever. The entire model would have to change.
