• The big news yesterday: three OSU football players tested positive for Covid-19

This was good context from within the university: positives were expected.

For the record: @OSUAthletics has tested over 150 staff/admins/student-athletes with 3 asymptomatic positives. All by SAs. Positives were expected and the plan for that scenario has been activated. We will be as forthcoming as possible on the covid issues. #okstate

Clearly, there is a movement for more constrained budgets.

So the OSU-Tulsa series, which once was a staple but went largely dormant for almost 20 years, is part of a bigger trend. [NewsOK]

The article lists tons of examples of the regionalization of scheduling, the Pokes are hopping on board.

• Our man Kyle Boone is touting Cade Cunningham wherever he can – we should all be confident Cunningham will live up to the hype.

A peaceful and positive protest in Stillwater today. Proud of our citizens, the protesters, Stillwater PD, city officials and the whole community for coming together to support change in a positive manner.

Been reading about social media, the space it fills and the pros and cons of engaging – this comment on how we’re all expected to engage was thoughtful:

The internet is also a mugger, but what it demands is not my money but my attention and my reaction, and it wants them right now. And “I’m thinking it over” isn’t an acceptable response. [The American Conservative]
