The fate of the 2020 College Football season remains in limbo after reports circulated over the weekend that the Big Ten and Pac 12 conferences were contemplating canceling the upcoming football season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
After a day of misleading reports, the Big Ten has apparently not voted to officially cancel the upcoming football season while the Big 12, SEC and ACC have yet to openly address the current state of the conference's conversations.
But without football season, what would that mean for student-athletes who already have frequent access to testing and COVID-19 test screening since arriving on campus?
On this week's interview episode of The Flagship Podcast, former Oklahoma QB and father of Texas backup QB Casey Thompson, Charles Thompson, joins the show and gives the parent perspective of the ongoing situation surrounding COVID-19 and why he believes his son is safer being in a controlled environment on campus at the University of Texas. Charles Thompson also weighs on the progression of his son and how he could be poised to take over for Sam Ehlinger upon Ehlinger's departure from Texas, what Casey Thompson offers as a backup QB and much more.
Catch all of that and more on Monday's interview episode of The Flagship Podcast.
