In Norman, the Oklahoma Sooners are undergoing potentially seismic changes as OU hires a new Athletic Director and announces longtime strength & conditioning legend Jerry Schmidt is stepping into a new role at the university. What does this mean for Brent Venables, the locker room, and the future of OU football?
Meanwhile, chaos is spreading nationwide:
-- Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney accuses Ole Miss and Pete Golding of blatant tampering
-- Duke sues QB Darian Mensah to block his transfer to Miami
-- Deion Sanders fines Colorado players for tardiness and missed team activities
-- New Florida head coach Jon Sumrall bans team logos until players “earn the right”
-- And Fox releases its Way Too Early Top 25, leaving Oklahoma outside the Top 10 despite a 10–3 College Football Playoff season
This is the new reality of college football — NIL money, lawsuits, power shifts, and culture wars… all before spring practice even begins.
If you think this sport is “settling down,” you haven’t been paying attention.
Welcome to the madness.
