Last evening, OU Twitter was rocked by rumblings of a possible retirement announcement from David Boren. Barstool Sooners and The Football Brainiacs reported on Tuesday night that the University of Oklahoma president would retire today. This morning, Boren himself tweeted that there would be an “important announcement” this afternoon.
Please join me at 2:00 p.m. today at Holmberg Hall. I will be making an important announcement about the future of the university. -DBo
