• From his interview with the Oklahoman, Chad Weiberg talked about how he’s feeling about the coaching search: 

“I still feel good about our ability to do that at this point,” Weiberg told The Oklahoman this weekend. “The process is moving. We knew that this would be how it would shape up. There would be openings that occurred and that there would be a lot of dominoes that would start falling at some point. It will be interesting to see how, overall, it all plays out. But I feel good about where we are.” [GoPokes 247]

In a first-of-its-kind deal, the Big 12 is getting an equity stake in the Players Era Festival, those involved tell @SBJ.

The agreement includes a minimum cash guarantee and eight Big 12 teams will be in the field annually when it expands to 32 next year.https://t.co/8K5ygCcn8T
