'It was never my intention to offend anyone and I apologize,' Oklahoma State University football coach Mike Gundy said about his coronavirus remarks earlier this week.
Oklahoma State University football coach Mike Gundy earlier this week said he thought his entire program could return to the Stillwater campus by May 1. He said healthy athletes could fight the virus, and anybody sick would be quarantined as if they had the flu."I have been made aware that comments from my press conference have offended some," Gundy said in an ESPN.com."It was never my intention to offend anyone and I apologize.
Gundy said his staff often treats players and coaches with the flu, and those people get quarantined until they are well. He said the same could be done while with coronavirus. Gundy added that although there may be older people working within the program, or some with underlying health conditions, he said the majority of his program consists of older teenagers and those in their early 20s.
