Summary

All eyes are on the Big 12 this week as the league approaches an important vote that will determine the schedule for the upcoming football season. The Big 12 is the last Power Five conference to make a decision on the upcoming schedule but a vote among the league's board of directors will go down Monday evening as the conference determines how it will handle this year's schedule amid the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. On Monday's episode of The Flagship Podcast, CBS Sports college football reporter Dennis Dodd joins the show for the latest rumblings pertaining to the upcoming football season, including the Big 12 board of director's vote, which will determine the fate of the league's scheduling in 2020. Dodd weighs in on what he's hearing from a national standpoint about the Big 12's vote in addition to how other Power Five conferences have handled the situation for the upcoming season, which started in mid-July when the Big Ten Conference announced its plan to remove all non-conference games from the 2020 schedule. At the time, the Big Ten's decision was not widely appreciated or accepted by other Power Five commissioners and college football officials due to how the league handled the announcement, which caught all other Power Five conference members off-guard. However, three of the four other conferences have since followed the Big Ten's lead in moving to a conference-only schedule for 2020. Dodd also discusses his thoughts on the upcoming season, how the scheduling could impact post-season competitions and much more. Catch all of that and more on the Monday episode of The Flagship Podcast. The Flagship Podcast — featuring co-hosts Chip Brown and Taylor Estes with Horns247 publisher Bobby Burton as a frequent contributor — hits the airwaves each Monday and Wednesday, and centers around all the latest happenings surrounding the University of Texas and college athletics, with big-name guests joining the show on a weekly basis.
