Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond commented on his Twitter page about the court ruling. Drummond said on his Twitter page immediately after this ruling,
“This ruling from the court is a slap in the face of every college athlete, coach, and fan who has abided by the spirit and letter of league rules for many decades. I will stand with the SEC and the Oklahoma Sooners to ensure that fairness is afforded to all throughout the upcoming season. We have rules for a reason, and we all must uphold those rules – or invite anarchy to infect our ranks.”
Oklahoma finished with a 10-2 record last season. The Sooners made the college football playoffs under head coach Brent Venables, but they lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Drummond is correct about the court case ruling with LSU. Many people in the SEC are outraged by this. The Sooners and others in the SEC for now are not happy about this.
