Oklahoma State Football Players to Return to Campus Monday, Gundy Says

Things are moving quickly in Stillwater.

A day after Oklahoma State announced a 17-person task force has assembled to ensure OSU student-athletes have a safe return to campus, Cowboy coach Mike Gundy took to Twitter to announce that personnel are being tested Friday, and players are returning to campus Monday.

Testing today! Players back on campus Monday! Staff back to work!

The Big 12 has mandated that its athletic teams cannot use facilities for voluntary workouts until June 15, but this June 1 return will give time for OSU’s players to isolate in Stillwater for that time.

There have been questions as to when the college football season will start, but based off Gundy’s tweets it seems as if he is prepared for it to start on time. In Friday morning’s tweet, he mentioned 97 days until kickoff, and on May 22 Gundy tweeted out “See you Sept. 3rd!”

OSU is scheduled to host Oregon State on Sept. 3, a Thursday, to start the 2020 season.
