Oklahoma-Missouri State football game to be one week earlier

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — The Oklahoma-Missouri State football game scheduled for September 5th in Norman has been moved to one week earlier, August 29th.

University of Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said on Saturday that the NCAA has approved a waiver requested by both schools to allow them more flexibility in dealing with potential issues related to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 10 FBS conferences that make up Division I football’s top tier are in the process of adjusting schedules and hoping to play a regular season that has billions of dollars in media rights deals attached to it.
