City officials and OSU representatives discuss plans of new projects in Stillwater Teyte Holcomb Staff Reporter
Yesterday, SGA members and county officials discussed a project that would bring new developments to the Stillwater community. These new developments, called the TIME Projects, can bring updates and changes to facilities around Oklahoma State’s (OSU) campus. Developments like a new Fire Station #2, no-kill animal shelter and new roads were presented, along with ways to pay for these new additions to Stillwater. TIME Projects discussed plans of new facilities across five schools
in the Stillwater community. Becky Taylor, chief civic innovation officer of Stillwater, discussed how speaking to schools all over Stillwater brings more awareness to the members of the community. “We knew that if we missed out on OSU we would be missing out on a huge population of Stillwater,” Taylor said. “We want to educate our community on some of the biggest needs we have, and talk together as a community about how we should pay for those.” These new projects would cost a total of $81 million and although it is not certain how these new facilities will be paid for, talks of a half-cent tax raise, as well as a bond issue were
presented as options. Christie Hawkins, a city council member and Associate Vice President of OSU, mentions how sales tax and bonds impact us all. “We talk about bond issues or raising sales tax which would affect any of the students,” said Hawkins. “A bond issue could also raise property tax, and an increase in property taxes could impact the students in terms of indirectly raising rent.” Students were also given the opportunity to register to vote, which aimed to help in the efforts of getting students more involved in the community. Trey Vanvelsor, the Student Government Association (SGA) public
affairs committee chairman, explained how bringing city officials to campus will help OSU students learn more about what is happening in the community. “I think it is important that students know what is going on in their community,” Vanvelsor said. “I want them to understand that they have a voice, and that the city council is here to listen.” Though the facilities introduced by the TIME Project are not set in stone, talks of plans to pay for these initiatives are happening throughout the Stillwater community. news.ed@ocolly.com

IS GOD WORKING IN YOU? The Apostle tells us; “...for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” (Phil.2:13 NIV) This seems an important statement that God would actually work in you and me. How can it happen? In Philippians chapter 2, we are given direction from the apostle Paul about this very important matter. He tells us to look at Jesus while he was here on this earth and follow his example. “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.”(V5 NIV) What was his attitude? You see clearly the key in verse 8; : “And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself.” Man, woman, youth; whoever we are and whatever our situation, we are to intentionally humble ourselves before God. Present ourselves to God so that we become a vessel for his work in and through us.
The Lord looks on humility in a very positive way. God says, “This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.” (Is.66:2 NIV) God greatly respects those who greatly respect him and his word. This person is ready to hear and move with God. “He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.” (Ps.25:9 NIV) If we stop and think about it; this person is the only one who will pay any attention to God’s will. Pride and self-centeredness are great hindrances to God working in us. The apostle says, offer your body as a living sacrifice. He does not say “get religious.” You are humbling yourself before God for his will to be done; an attitude of humility. This is what Jesus did. As you do the same, God will lead and work in you.

Gabriel Trevino Staff Reporter Four new schools, four new fanbases and alumni, three new states, historic athletic programs and world class athletes. This is what the Big 12 is getting from BYU, UCF, Cincinnati and Houston, the newest additions to the conference. These four schools have built historic and winning reputations, adding to their résumés for joining a power five conference. Each school deserves to be in the Big 12, and bring more competitiveness, and traditions to the conference. BYU BYU is one of the most recognizable institutions and brands in America. “BYU brings a broad national interest,” Lawrence Schovanec, Big 12 board of directors chairman said. On the football field, BYU has won one national championship, in 1984, and have played in 38 bowl games. The Cougars have produced 12 NFL first-round draft picks, and numerous members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, such as Steve Young.
BYU was previously a member of the Mountain West Conference, however have been independent in football since 2011. In its years as a member of a conference, BYU have won 23 conference championships in football. Outside of football, BYU is the winner of 12 national championships, including two in men’s basketball. BYU’s recent success, finishing as the 11th ranked team in 2020, and is currently a top 25 team, shows that BYU can be a competitive threat as soon as they enter the conference in 2023. Cincinnati The Bearcats football program has been one of the highest ranked group of five teams in recent years. Cincinnati, located in southern Ohio, is a major football market. “Geographically, Cincinnati and the state of Ohio are a great asset to the Big 12,” Schovanec said. Cincinnati finished as the ranked No. 8 in the country in 2020, ending their season with a close loss to Georgia in the Peach Bowl. Cincinnati opened the 2021 season again as the eighth ranked team, the highest ranked group of five team in the country. Since joining the American Athletic Conference in 2013, the Bearcats have won two conference championships,
and have won 13 other football conference championships. In basketball, Cincinnati has won two national championships, the only national championships in school history, and continuously finish in the top 25. Cincinnati, along with Houston and UCF, are looking to join the Big 12 in 2024. If Cincinnati can continue to compete as a group of five school and finish in the top 25, the Bearcats may be one of the best teams in the Big 12 immediately upon joining. UCF The University of Central Florida is the self-proclaimed 2017 national champion. In the 2017 college football season, UCF was the only remaining undefeated team in the entire country, but were not selected to the College Football Playoff. UCF claimed the 2017 national championship after a Peach Bowl victory over Auburn. UCF went on a 25-game win streak over the course of the 2017 and 2018 season, falling to LSU in the 2019 Fiesta Bowl. UCF has wanted to join a power five conference over the past five years due to their recent success. The Big 12 had interest as well. The Big 12 will expand into the Orlando, Florida, market through UCF, where many top ranked recruits are located.
The conference will also have a footprint in a city where over 50-million people travel to each year. UCF may be a powerhouse in the Big 12 upon arrival, with the appeal from many highly rated recruits, and millions of dollars earned, as a member of a power five conference. “Just imagine how far up there UCF’s program will be after 50 years,” UCF athletic director Terry Mohajir said. “This program will reach new heights with the jump to the Big 12”. Houston The University of Houston is one of the fastest growing football programs in the country. “Joining the Big 12 Conference is a historic step in our institutional journey,” Houston Chancellor Renu Khator said. “It signifies the tremendous growth and success attained academically and athletically over the last decade.” Houston has finished in the top 25 in two of the last ten seasons, including a 2015 Peach Bowl victory. Houston has also produced four first round NFL draft picks in the past ten years, including the ninth overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft Ed Oliver. The addition of Houston into the Big 12 allows the conference to expand into a major market. Houston is the
fourth biggest city in the United States, and the biggest city in Texas. Houston is another city where there are many highly rated recruits, with some of the highest ranked high school football teams in the country. Houston is a basketball powerhouse, making the Final Four in 2021. Four members of the basketball hall of fame were once Houston Cougars, including Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. Houston may not become one of the best football programs in the Big 12 upon joining, however they will help the Big 12 become one of the best basketball conferences in the country. “In adding the four members, we will be arguably the best basketball conference in the country,” Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. Replacing Oklahoma and Texas will be no easy task for the Big 12, however the additions of these four new schools will increase the competition and athletic talent in the conference for decades to come. “We were looking for the best universities, and this was an easy decision for the other eight Big 12 Universities,” Bowlsby said. “We have attempted to add the very best athletes that we possibly could.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

Ithaca to Stillwater
Knowles not a typical Gundy coordinator Gabriel Trevino Staff Reporter
Chris Becker
A Philadelphia native, Ivy League graduate with more than 30 years as a coach. Jim Knowles might be the most knowledgeable guy on the football field. Knowles, OSU’s defensive coordinator since 2018, where the Cowboys finished 7-6, and allowed an average of 32.5 points per game and over 450 yards per game in Knowles’ first season. Coach Mike Gundy didn’t panic. “I wasn’t worried,” Gundy said. “I was waiting for him to come around and realize the things you realize in this league are true. The year he came in, the quarterback and receiver talent in this league were through the rough. One thing about Jim is he will tell you he was wrong, and he’s smart enough to fix it.” The 2021 Cowboys are currently allowing only 20 points per game and 328 yards per game across the first three games of the season under Knowles, a drastic improvement statistically. Knowles began his
coaching career at his alma mater as Cornell’s defensive line coach in 1988, and stayed at Cornell until 1996. Knowles would later become Cornell’s head coach in 2004 after a stretch with Western Michigan and Ole Miss. Knowles joined Duke’s coaching staff in 2010, and left for Stillwater after the 2017 season. Gundy credits Knowles’ intelligence and success on his background as a coach and a person. “He thinks a little differently than other people,” Gundy said. “He is a ‘streets of Philly’ guy and an Ivy league guy. He’s on those guys all the time and more aggressive than what coaches are today, then he’ll come back and love them up and tell them they do a good job so they get it.” Gundy said he has never seen a personality quite like coach Knowles’ during practice or on the sideline. “Jim might go through two minutes of practice and say 400 words,” Gundy said. “He’s a different personality. The players have to understand what we’re trying to accomplish and how we’re gonna do that. I’m okay with however you want to coach your players, as long as you don’t belittle them and beat them down verbally. I don’t believe in that. He does a good job at that.” sports.ed@ocolly.com
