Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

OSU Bullets

• Four more Cowboys were drafted earlier this week in the MLB Draft, bringing the total to five this year (PFB)

• The Pokes were given the second-lowest Big 12 title odds in the conference (PFB)

• An interesting undertone to the NIL era is the professionalism and expectation around the players, notes Mike Gundy.

“The players understand it’s in a competitive world now,” he said. “So money’s involved. Players are getting paid. Players that produce and get results, in whatever it is that we’re looking for, are going to get paid more next year. So there’s a competitive nature that’s maybe not been there as much in the past because money motivates people.”
