OSU Bullets

• How OSU was able to hire Sean Snyder as another assistant on the football team (NewsOK)

• Solid argument from Chad Weiberg on how a 12-team playoff would have impacted the view of OSU as a blue-blood program: 

Weiberg states that if there had been a 12-team playoff during the Gundy era, “we’re certain that there were four times when we would have been in, and we’re pretty sure of two other times. And that’s with OU and Texas in the league.

“If you’re in the playoff five times, coming out of a league with OU and Texas in it, does that change the national perception of your brand? You certainly can make the case for it.”
