OSU Bullets

• OU and Texas announced they’re not renewing their media rights with the Big 12 after the 2025 season – in other words, OU and Texas are notifying the league that they’re leaving.
Interesting take: Iowa State saying Big 12 teams have the best shot if they all stay through the end of the contract.

• Great piece on Cade Cunningham and his elite NBA skill – reports out yesterday that Detroit Pistons still aren’t sure about taking him at No. 1

• This TulsaWorld piece does a terrific job of processing the in-state ramifications of realignment between Bedlam schools

• Recruiting updates:
– Five-star guard with the Pokes in his final cut will be announcing in early August
– An offensive tackle target listed the Pokes in his final cut

• Loved OSU President Shrum’s comments yesterday – proper amount of varnish on that heater:

“It is difficult to understand how an Oklahoma institution of higher education would follow the University of Texas to the detriment of the State of Oklahoma.” — OSU president Kayse Shrum https://t.co/caTFATM9v7

• Info leaking out that the Pokes wouldn’t meet the “requirements” the Big Ten

Non-OSU Bullets

• Secrets of the world’s greatest jailbreak artist
• Great pod with Bill Simmons and crew breaking down the NBA Draft

I’m cool with this – kind of wild that it won’t be named after an energy company in Oklahoma:

BREAKING: Sources tell me Paycom has secured the naming rights to what was Chesapeake Energy Arena. I’m told an official announcement is expected this week.
