Mike Gundy Proposes Spring 'Bedlam' Game Against Oklahoma

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy has proposed a spring game to revive the historic 'Bedlam' rivalry with Oklahoma, which has been dormant since Oklahoma's move to the SEC. Gundy suggested a home-and-home format where both teams could charge fans $25 per ticket, with proceeds going towards NIL funding. He noted that the NCAA currently prohibits inter-conference practices, but discussions are underway about altering these bylaws, following a similar proposal from Colorado's Deion Sanders. The last official matchup occurred in 2024, with Oklahoma State winning, but Gundy's idea may allow the rivalry to continue sooner than the next scheduled game in 2031. Fans have expressed disappointment over the rivalry's hiatus, and Gundy's proposal aims to rekindle excitement among supporters. The NCAA's upcoming decision on new spring game formats could determine the feasibility of Gundy's plan.
