(si) Big 12 Conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby spent an hour Thursday afternoon discussing numerous aspects of the pandemic shutdown with the media.
Bowlsby talked about revenue lost from the Big 12 men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, total projected revenue lost so far from the loss of the NCAA Tournament and other championships.
Schools could still receive more from the league this year then last year. The leagues distribution to schools could be about $40 million this year. Last year, the league’s total revenue to schools was $37.4 million.
Bowlsby said no contingency plans have been made if the Coronavirus ends up disrupting the 2020 football season.
The Big 12 did cancel all spring sports regular season and championship competition and out of season practices.
Football media day at AT&T Stadium in July, complete with a new sponsor in Academy Sports, is a go — for now.
