Linking Up: Previewing the Sooners' spring game

A few pieces on what to pay attention to during Oklahoma’s Red-White Game on Friday night and more.

*Here’s a look at the big stories to follow on offense.

*Here’s the companion piece for the defense.

*I did an analysis of the Sooners’ schedule in 2019. That finishing kick in November looks pretty rough.

*I’ll take Golden State over Toronto for the NBA title.

*I’ve given up trying to figure out what is going to happen regarding the Big 12 and OU in the future. I will say this new media rights agreement with ESPN feels like a big deal for the conference going forward.

*If you haven’t read the essay on race published this week by Kyle Korver of the Utah Jazz, don’t hesitate to do so now.

*Not sure if anyone is actually taking bets on this, but what happens if the result is no one?

*Sports by Brooks sits down with John Ourand of SportsBusiness Journal to talk about about some of the major fault lines in sports media.
