The Big 12 is the first Power 5 conference to move media days to the virtual format. The only other conference to do so thus far is the Mountain West, which announced their transition to virtual on April 29.
"Given the uncertainty around the current environment and how much longer it’s going to last and with attendees having to make travel plans, it didn’t seem prudent for a traditional media day with a mass person gathering," Big 12 spokesperson Bob Burda told Carlton.
Last year, Oklahoma players CeeDee Lamb, Creed Humphrey, Kenneth Murray and Neville Gallimore spoke at media day, along with head coach Lincoln Riley.
