Will football be cancelled? Dallas Independent School District Superintendent Michael Hinojosa says it might be.
Hinojosa was interviewed on MSNBC and left open the possibility of “moving it to the spring, but we’ll have to wait and see.” He also said he has serious doubts “that we can pull that off.”
Canceling the fall sport would be a major step for a Texas school district. One of the first things people learn up on moving to Texas are there were originally two sports: football and spring football.
On Wednesday, UIL released new guidelines governing summer high school workouts which are expected to resume on Monday. Restrictions include mandatory masks with limited exceptions.
On other classroom scheduling, Hinojosa says he’s now having questions about whether in-school classes can begin on August 17th, as planned.

It has yet to be determined if the annual Texas-OU game will continue at the Cotton Bowl. The decades long rivalry may be in jeopardy though due to coronavirus as the State Fair of Texas has cancelled its annual event that is home to the Fair Park pigskin game.
