Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy apologized Saturday for comments he made earlier in the week comparing the coronavirus to the flu and saying his goal was to have his football team back at team headquarters by May 1.

"I have been made aware that comments from my press conference have offended some," Gundy said in a statement Saturday. "It was never my intention to offend anyone and I apologize. My first priority is and will always be the student-athletes and doing what is best for the program and the university."
