Oklahoma coach Brent Venables has been under fire for the Sooners' performance during their 23-6 Week 7 loss to the Texas Longhorns in the Red River Rivalry game.

In conjunction with a coordinated Big 12 Conference announcement, Texas Tech Baseball unveiled its full 2026 baseball schedule, Wednesday.
