TV deal frenzy: Earlier this month, the Big Ten announced a new lucrative TV deal with CBS, Fox and NBC that amounts to $7 billion over seven years, starting in “Well,2023.first of all, con gratulations to the Big Ten,” Yormark said. “I think they did a fantastic job and one of the things that I took away from it is, you know they created a partnership with obviously three great net works and are putting student athletes on the biggest stage every Withweek.”the Big Ten’s huge deal, it has put pressure on the Big 12 to finalize a new TV deal. Yormark said the Big 12 has a huge future with ESPN and “We’reFox.with ESPN and Fox and I think they give us two of the biggest platforms available,” Yormark said. “Being on a big platform that can give you the broad reach that they provide and the cross marketing and promo tion is critically important. So for me, there’s a huge fu ture with ESPN and Fox and if we can complement those two partners with something additive, it seems to make sense.”

Texas and Oklahoma With Texas and Okla homa leaving the Big 12 for the SEC in 2024, there has been speculation that Yor mark will not be visiting those two schools. Yormark will be visiting those schools, eventually, just not through the campus visits he’s doing this month.“Mygoal is to get to every school over the course of the next couple months, including football season,” Yormark said. “But with these particular visits right now, I’ve done the eight exist ing, which will be completed by Thursday. I’ll get to Texas and Oklahoma at some point in time.” Saddle up The highlight of Yor mark’s visit was set up like a recruiting visit photo. Yormark saddled onto Bullet, the infamous horse mascot at OSU football games, where he would take a photo at the 50-yard line of Boone Pickens Stadium. Yormark said this isn’t his first rodeo.“Ihad no issues getting on the horse,” Yormark said. “In fact, I said to them ‘can I ride the horse?’ He said ‘no, no, no Brett.’ They were even hesitant of me getting on, but if you saw, I got on pretty easily. That was the highlight for me.”
The visit: Yormark spent most of his day meeting with administrators, coaches and student-athletes at OSU. Yormark says speaking with the student-athletes at OSU was inspiring to him in many different“Thatways.was truly inspir ing for me, just engaging with the student athletes, getting to better understand their journeys, where they’ve come from, where they want to go and how Oklahoma State is truly preparing them to be the best version of themselves,” YormarkSincesaid.Yormark’s hiring, he’s had the chance to meet with some of the top figures at OSU in President Kayse Shrum and OSU football coach Mike “Kasey’sGundy.leadership is off the charts,” Yorkmark said. “I had the chance to spend quite a bit of time with coach Gundy, he was fabulous.

In Pennsylvania, abortion is legal but several bills that would severely restrict it have passed the state Legis lature only to be vetoed by Gov. Tom Wolf, whose term ends in January. The Democratic candidate for governor, Josh Shapiro, has vowed to continue to veto abortion bans. His Republican opponent, state Sen. Doug Mastriano, has said he believes all abortions should be illegal, with no exceptions. Who becomes governor in November could very well determine whether abortion is legal in Pennsylva nia. And the state Legislature, long controlled by Republicans, could also be up for grabs.
Women are registering to vote in Pa. in numbers far exceeding men since the Supreme Court abortion decision news
Julia Terruso and Jonathan Lai

Philadelphia Inquirer
“A lot of people, they heard abor tion was punted to the state and then people run and go look at their state and they’re like ‘Oh ... I’m in one of the bad ones,’” said Jamie Perrapato, executive director of the Democratic group Turn PA Pennsylvania’sBlue. U.S. Senate race could also be key. The winner could determine which party controls the chamber and whether abortion is codi fied — or restricted — at the federal level. Turn PA Blue has seen an influx in women interested in registering to vote and they’ve upped their registra tion efforts and voter outreach. They also hold Women to Women Wednes days in which volunteers have phone and online conversations with women around the “Thisstate.ismotivating women. This is finally the straw where people don’t want to believe horrible things are hap pening, but you can’t deny it anymore,” Perrapato said. “We can lose abortion as of the ballot in November.”
Kristy Messina, a 43-year-old mother of three teenage girls, said her daughters inspired her to register for the firstMessina,time. who lives in Pittsburgh, registered this month. “I am worried about my children, and worried that I may not always be able to help them as they navigate life,” she said.“I’m angry that people think that they can still control us and want my children to get angry about it as well and fight for their rights.” Messina said she avoided politics her entire“Nowlife.Ineed to worry about their future,” she said. “It’s time to get involved.”
The voter registration envelope had been sitting in Kiera Coyle’s bed room for months when her cellphone started blowing up that Friday in June. Had she seen the news about the SupremeCoyle,Court?an18-year-old from Willow Grove, had been interested in voting but just hadn’t gotten around to it, busy preparing to leave for college, babysitting for a local family and mak ing trips to the Jersey Shore. After hearing abortion could become illegal in some states, she dug the form out, registered as a Democrat, and sent it in. “Not just me, but all my friends, we immediately registered to vote,” Coyle said. “If we have the voice to vote, we wanted it. ... We were really enraged. We were like, ‘How are we going Thousandsbackward?’”of women across Pennsylvania and the country have reg istered to vote since the June 24 Dobbs v. Jackson decision that overturned the federal right to an abortion in the UnitedPennsylvaniaStates. has had one of the nation’s biggest gender gaps in new registrations, according to Democratic voter data firm Target Smart, which said women have outpaced men by about 12 percentage points in new registrations since June 24. That gap is three times larger than their estimate of a 4-point difference in total registra tions. (Gender is an optional field when registering to vote in Pennsylvania, so the state’s voter rolls don’t provide a complete picture of the gender split in registrations.)Newlyregistered voters say they were motivated by the decision, and Democratic activists said they’re working to capitalize on that anger with voter registration drives and more women-focused organizing events. Similar voter enthusiasm and political organizing has followed other major events, including the racial justice pro tests in 2020 and the 2018 mass shoot ing at Parkland High School in Florida. In Pennsylvania, 62% of women registering since Dobbs registered as Democrats, 15% as Republicans; 54% were younger than 25. Dana Brown, executive director at the Center for Women in Politics, said there’s been a clear shift in motivation among Democrats since the ruling, and women are a main driver. “Many people have been mobiliz ing since the decision to register voters, particularly in the younger demograph ic, because that’s where you have the opportunity for growth,” Brown said. The surge in female voter regis trations comes amid a flurry of regis tration activity as voters prepare for a major midterm election. Voter registration patterns gener ally match broader voter enthusiasm in elections, with registrations spiking in major elections and staying very low in low-turnout election cycles. This year, state data show more than 63,200 new registrations have been processed on line, the primary registration method, as of mid-August. By this time in 2020, there had been nearly 250,000 new online registrations — and last year, only 25,000.Asregistrations continue to pick up heading into the November mid terms, the tens of thousands of new voters will make up a small percentage of the state’s nearly 8.8 million registered voters. And registration numbers alone can be misleading, with Democrats in Pennsylvania historically holding a significant margin over Re publicans in voter registrations — but when it comes time to vote, the state is much more evenly split. But an increase in new registra tions can signal broader enthusiasm for voting among the already registered electorate.Ofcourse, registering to vote is one thing, actually going out to do it is another, Brown noted. But as the recent data show, registrations grew at particularly high rates in some states where abortion rights are most at risk. That could signal people are being mo tivated by an issue they want to weigh in on through voting.
Part of Shaffer’s delay in reg istering in her new state was being a busy new mom, but it was also just bad information: Shaffer didn’t realize that she could register to vote without a Pennsylvania driver’s license. After the Supreme Court deci sion, not being registered in the state really started bothering her, and she went online and looked more closely at what was required to register. “After the ruling, I thought about it constantly, to be honest,” she said. “It kept me up at night.”
A crowd of abortion-rights advocates protest outside the federal court house in Philadelphia on June 24, 2022, after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
For Elya Shaffer, part of the mo tivation to register in Pennsylvania was having a “Thatson.just made it so much more real, on kind of like an emotional level, not just a theoretical or politi cal level,” said Shaffer, who moved to Conshohocken from Naples, Florida, last year.Shaffer, who is 35 and describes herself as more moderate, tends to vote based on issues and for her, abortion is an important one. “I’m married, very much in a position to start a family. It was a choice. But it was a really rough pregnancy and just going through all the physical emotional stuff you go through, not just during the pregnancy but postpartum, it’s so incredibly dif ficult, and forcing people to do that who aren’t ready or don’t choose to be, it was really all of that.”

Flipping his commitment In 2011 as a senior at Wagoner High School, Peterson originally com mitted to Oklahoma, but when thenOklahoma defensive coordinator Brent Venables left for Clemson, Peterson flipped his commitment to Oklahoma State, just a month before signing day. “It was a tough decision,” Peter son said. “I had built a good relation ship with Venables, he was kind of the main guy who recruited me and I basically wanted to base my commit ment on the feel and the relationship I had with the coaches and some of the players.”For OSU, it didn’t offer Peterson until late into the recruiting process, but Peterson says it felt like the right decision.“Ihad always admired Oklahoma State, but I hadn’t gotten an offer from them until very late into the process,” Peterson said. “Actually, a guy tore his achilles which allowed a spot to open up for me, so when I went on my of ficial visit, it just felt like family.”

Kevin Peterson reflects OSU decision, Glass workouts
Davis Cordova Staff Reporter
Body by Glass As a Cowboy for four years, Peterson had his fair share of Rob Glass workouts. Peterson doesn’t miss the workouts, but says he misses Glass’ push for greatness from his players. “My last stadium I ever did, I sat at the top and was happy and relieved that it was the last time I will ever run up a stadium,” Peterson said. “Glass is probably the biggest thing I’ve missed since leaving Oklahoma State, because you have somebody that’s pushing you, somebody that has that track record, that history of just being the top guy and I think he deserves that extension more than anyone because he pushes you and gets you prepared more than you can think before going into a game, so I definitely think that was worth it.”
Glass, the strength and condition ing coordinator, recently signed a new contract that is worth $1 million. State of the program Last season, OSU had one of its best seasons to date. Peterson believes OSU is right where it needs to be in order to be great. “I think they have the right guys in place,” Peterson said. “I think Oklahoma State’s going to go as far as they need to, they’ve always stood the test, they’ve always risen to the occa sion. No matter what happens to OSU, they’ll still be doing everything that they’re doing because at the end of the day, they prepare you to be great no matter if it’s on the field or off the field.”

Kevin Peterson (No. 1) spoke with The O’Colly about his Cowboy career. He is an NFL free agent.
Oklahoma State is just one week away from its Sept. 1 season opener against Central Michigan in Boone Pickens Stadium. In honor of being one week from kickoff, The O’Colly sat down with a former Cowboy who wore No. 1 — Kevin Peterson (cornerback from 2012-2015). Where is he now? Kevin Peterson has had a unique path through the NFL. In 2016 he went undrafted and signed with the Chicago Bears, playing on their practice squad. That season, the Los Angeles Rams picked up Peterson and moved him to their roster, where he would play until 2018. In 2019, Peterson signed with the Arizona Cardinals and played until this past season.Peterson is a free agent, but Peterson fielded calls from NFL teams who are testing out younger players before signing Peterson. “This is my first time not partici pating in the preseason to this point,” Peterson said. “So, I’ve just been train ing, staying ready for the call. My son is now a year old, so I’ve been spend ing time with him.”
Westeros. Based on the written works of author George R. R. Martin, “House of the Dragon” has made it evident numerous times that Martin is more involved with the creation of this show than he was in “Game of Thrones”, which led to some of the poor writing qualities in the final seasons. “House of the Dragon” comes in swinging with phenomenal cin ematography, acting, writing, music and production, to the point where the quality feels more akin to a film than a TV show. Greatness has been achieved within one episode of the series, and it is only a glimpse of the potential the show possesses.

With a successful and promising opening episode, both financially and regarding the content, “House of the Dragon” will be a show to keep an eye on and tune in to weekly if you are a fan.

Nothing disappointed summer Stillwater residents more than the truth of their favorite fast-food place under going construction. Chick-fil-A an nounced a remodel and that they would close this summer. The grand reopening was sched uled for 10:30 am. Tuesday and the people showed. By noon, a line of cars wrapped around the building and people inside were extended around the restaurant.Thenew building looks different from its previous version and nothing like any Chick-fil-A I’ve stepped into. New backsplash, flooring and tables along with a more open seating ar rangement makes the inside stand out. It took around three minutes to get food and by the time I finished my usual order, an eight count chicken nuggets with fries and a lemonade, a host had asked me if I was doing OK and if I needed anything. This is what many Stillwater residents missed, the people and their ability to make you feel welcome is something that other fast food chains can’t compare to.

Rachel Davis, an OSU student from Argyle, Texas, shared her connec tion with the restaurant and how she feels now that it reopened. “The Chick-fil-A in Stillwater feels like you’re at home,” Davis said. “It doesn’t feel like you’re in school; it feels like a piece of your hometown. It tastes like home, too, so when you’re homesick you can grab a few friends and come here and feel like you’ve stepped back into that feeling.” The food isn’t the only thing students missed either. Brittany Wren, a music industry major and junior at OSU, shared at lunch how she feels about the atmosphere at Chick-fil-A. “It’s a place for the community to come together,” Wren said. “It’s like being at a sit-down restaurant without being at a sit-down restaurant. It feels easier to hang out with friends here than it would be at other fast-food restaurants.”Oneof the hosts working at Chick-fil-A, Larry, took a second to sit down with The O’Colly to talk about the reopening.“Ilovethe way it’s reopened,” he said. “I like the layout. I like every thing about it. The way things work, it’s easier to get stuff done. It’s easier to pick up and it’s more open. Business will go a lot smoother hopefully. This remodel was crazy to see. I grew up on this road when it was just a one lane dirt road, so this is special to see.” The updated Chick-fil-A features the same items as other Chick-fil-A locations and is open from Monday to Saturday 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mallory Pool Stillwater residents were lining up in the drive-thru and inside to get a taste of the new Chick-fil-A.

Janish Cowgirl soccer sold a record number of season tickets and the fans continue to support.

“These girls and coach Carmi chael deserve our support and we are the voice of the stadium essentially,” Carsons said. “Days like today give me hope for the future of the program. My daughter wants to play soccer here and she looks up to these girls. So, days like today are (awesome) to see.”Mackenzie
Colin Carmichael wasn’t coy about his admiration for the level of consistent support Cowgirl soccer fans exhibit for his program. The recent program record in sea son tickets purchased was only a piece of what the OSU coach was referring to. It all seemingly came into fruition on Sunday’s home opener against Mis souri State, as the OSU faithful showed out for a dominant 4-0 Cowgirl win. “It was good to see the girls dom inate in the home opener,” lifelong OSU fan Matt Rogers said. “It was a fun time overall and I’m happy (Oklahoma State) was able to put on a good performance in front of us all.” As the game came to an end, the OSU fans in attendance rose to its feet in applause after an explosive allaround performance from the Cowgirls. A packed student section and a nearly full row of field-side seats highlighted the home atmosphere of the Cowgirls’ home-opening victory.

He believes in order for the soccer program to maintain a level of consis tency on a national stage, fan turnout needs a massive turnaround in order for that to come into fruition.

“ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be stead fast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Co.15:58 NKJ) Just about everything in this life is tempo rary. Yet, most people work very hard to have a pleasant few years in their lifetime. I would like to remind the true Christians that God is offering us an eternity of bless ing as we serve him and his purposes now. 1InCo.15 the Apostle Paul is reminding these believers of Christ’s resurrection and how true and real it was. He continues by emphasizing the sure promise of God that we are going to share in that resurrec tion one day. We will have a new, eternal body like Jesus has now. As we help in the work of God, furthering his kingdom; demonstrating the love of God in blessing and serving others; as you and I get involved with helping missionary work, even going to help in short term mission trips or providing finances for others to go, we are laying up treasure in heaven “where moths cannot corrupt and thieves cannot Actually,steal.”this kingdom of God, with forgive ness of all our sins and a new relationship with God as our Father, is offered to all mankind. If you have never opened your heart to Christ, asking for a clean heart and a new life; the door is open wide for you to come. You will not be turned away. Then you too can begin to live for the eternal: laying up treasure in Heaven. I en courage all to consider these words, no matter your age, and choose the best and most satisfying life. It is a life following Christ as your Lord, and going for God’s best in eternity. It is a great and sure future!
