• Can Spencer Sanders send OSU soaring?

• Gundy’s buyout went down $10M over the summer – you’ll have to read the article for more details but here’s the gist of it:

Old buyout: 75 percent X remainder owed (over $22 million over the next four years with $125K raises every year) = $17ish million

New buyout: 50 percent X remainder owed (over $13 million over the next three years with $125K raises every year) = $7ish million

This is significant! OSU reduced its most important employee’s buyout by $10 million in one summer. [PFB]

• If you’re playing fantasy football with college players, here’s a ranking where OSU’s triplets are all top-15 at their position and four Cowboy receivers make the final 170

• 250 Division 1 athletic directors were polled about the basketball season – a pretty optimstic crowd.

• Recap of episode three of the OSU Football documentary on ESPN+

• Great shots here of three phases of Lewis Field/Boone Pickens Stadium:

Lights at Boone Pickens Stadium. Preceded by both old and new lights in that weird transition year, and Lewis Field lights, and some lights that were installed for a few years in the 1940s. Terrifying to think about driving home after a 1940s night game #okstate #GoPokes pic.twitter.com/Bgqg1b8fbh

• Vox ranks the Pixar movies one to 22 – get out of here with Wall-E on top, Cars should be No. 1
