2024-08-31
Arrr matey! The NCAA be blockin' the Oklahoma State Cowboys from sportin' a wee 1.5-inch QR mark on their helmets fer the clash with them South Dakota State Jackrabbits! Aye, they be keepin' the crew's treasure map a secret! What scallywags!
Avast ye mateys! Gather 'round as I regale ye with a tale from the land of college ball! Yonder, the good ship Oklahoma State Cowboys set sail with a grand idea to stick QR codes on their helmets, linkin’ to their treasure trove of NIL funds. Aye, they be the first to try such a daring maneuver, but lo and behold, the scallywags at the NCAA raised their sails and shouted “Nay!”The Cowboys claimed that the codes be just institutional decals, but the NCAA had other notions, seein’ it as a dastardly form of advertising. “Arrr, we disagree!” said Chad Weiberg, the captain of the Cowboys’ crew, but they decided to follow the rules like good little sailors. They even spoke to the Big 12 Conference, who cried out for the NCAA to modernize their ancient laws as the winds of change blew through college sports.
Though the QR codes didn’t grace their helmets against the South Dakota Jackrabbits, the Cowboys still found ways to showcase ‘em: on drink coasters and bags, even blazin' on the stadium screen! And what be the score, ye ask? A resounding 44-20 victory for the Cowboys! So raise a mug of grog for innovation, even in the face of cannon fire from the NCAA! Arrr!
