Conference realignment has claimed yet another victim. This time, it's the annual Bedlam Series between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Both of the schools’ athletic directors told Action Network the series will end once Oklahoma leaves the Big 12 for the SEC in 2025.
The Bedlam Series began in 1904 – three years before Oklahoma became a state. The schools have met 116 times and have played annually for the past 112 years, making Bedlam the nation's second-longest current uninterrupted college football rivalry.
However, that’s coming to an end.
“It (playing Oklahoma) presents logistical issues under our current (scheduling) structure,” Oklahoma State AD Chad Weiberg said. “We don't have any openings to play them. We're full. Unless there are significant undertakings to make the game happen, it can't happen.”
