As far as I know, Oklahoma is by far and away the largest football university to make it clear they plan on bringing students back.
Nebraska has also made it clear they want students back, but Nebraska hasn’t been good in several years. They’re a historic program, but they’re not relevant in the national title conversation.
Oklahoma is very relevant in the national title conversation.

If Oklahoma pulls the trigger on the football season happening, which seems like a guarantee at this point, then other Big 12 schools will likely follow.
If the Sooners are going to suit up and take the field, there’s zero chance Oklahoma State sits it out. That would mean two major Big 12 programs are all in.
At that point, we’ll likely have a domino effect on our hands. Schools can’t afford to sit it out, and they won’t once they seemingly are just following a trend.

It certainly looks like we’re trending in the correct direction. We still have a long way to go in the game plan before we get a victory, but we’re headed in the direction.
Oklahoma having students back might be the biggest step we’ve taken so far!
