Daily Bullets (July 26): Training Camp Updates, OSU’s NIL Tactic for Football

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

OSU Bullets

• Where former Cowboys are headed to for NFL training camps – plus details on each (PFB)

• OSU’s 1974 Fiesta Bowl team is being honored at the Texas Tech game (OKState.com) 

• GoPokes247’s McLain Baxley pointed out a clever way Oklahoma State is using NIL on the football team. 

Because of NIL, Oklahoma State was able to get several of their veteran offensive linemen back for another season without having to give up scholarship spots on fifth, sixth-year players. That’s huge for the Cowboys this season as it gives them one of the better offensive lines in the country, but it’s also big for the future as they’re able to keep younger linemen on scholarship and around the program instead of pulling scholarships.

Southwest Airlines has ended the “open seating” policy.

They will now offer seats for a fees. You will have to pay for good seats.

This is end of an era. A beautiful airline destroyed by greed.
