Two Quotes

• Love to see it – Kenny Gajewski overcome with emotions after punching his ticket to OKC.

• OSU and the Big 12 benefitted from the ACC being locked in at a lower number – how did that happen? The Big 12 has an incredible grant of rights.

After Texas and Oklahoma declared their intentions two years ago, (Bob) Bowlsby doubled back and vetted the vulnerability of his grant of rights with a New York litigation firm.

“I asked them to tear it apart,” Bowlsby said. “They came back and said, ‘This is ironclad. You can take it any federal court in the country and win.'”
