Maybe it would be easier to swap them with Nebraska for this season only smh..

TLDR:
1) Universities considering sending 80% of the students home and keeping football players with the 20% on campus to mitigate spread
2) Oklahoma doesn't want to play.
"While that was going on on Tuesday, the Big 12 was dealing with a different issue involving Oklahoma, which reportedly is leaning against the sentiment of its brethren who want to continue with the season.
Normally this would result in a stalemate.
Not so much this time because Texas is leading a charge to continue, with or WITHOUT Oklahoma as part of the conference for football this season.
The reason such a plan may have some legs is that eliminating Oklahoma opens the conference race for the other teams, even more so if Texas stumbles.
OU's dilemma is obvious.
The Sooners could take the stance that it's too dangerous to play, but are facing an additional financial issue if they step away from football and part of the approximately $42 million Big 12 broadcast rights payout.
If the 20 percent student attendance plan is considered, it could either increase or ease Oklahoma's angst.
As has been the case through the entire process, the SEC stands rock solid with its plan to begin its season on Sept. 26th, with growing speculation being that the SEC is going to play football this season no matter what the circumstances or the number of participants."
