Homecoming isn’t canceled, even if the football game is.

This year’s homecoming was not expected to look as big and exciting as Baylor Homecoming festivities usually are, but with the game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys now canceled, Baylor fans may be even more confused on what this weekend will hold. However, despite the pandemic, the university has quite a few activities planned for fans all over the world to enjoy.

Thursday
