Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy delivers stern message about players' focus as season kickoff nears

Mike Gundy will soon begin his 20th season coaching the Oklahoma State football team.

The advent of name, image and likeness (NIL) and the transfer portal has drastically shifted the college football landscape. While the changes have introduced numerous benefits for the players, they also come with some drawbacks. 

Gundy is making it clear he is not fond of the distractions NIL can bring, particularly as it relates to athletes negotiating potential deals. Instead, he wants the players to focus on the game as the season looms.
